For your safety, iRIDE follows Public Health recommendations. Staff and clients travelling in Circle of Care iRIDE vehicles are encouraged to wear masks when using the service, but it is not mandatory unless a client is experiencing symptoms, such as coughing, sneezing, sore throat, or running nose. For clients with symptoms, masks remain mandatory. We continue to sanitize our vehicles between rides.
About iRIDE Transportation
Illness or frailty can make everyday tasks such as medical appointments or grocery shopping a challenge. iRIDE Plus, our government-subsidized transportation service, helps older adults or people with mobility issues get around safely and affordably. Our friendly, trained drivers will provide door to door service, dropping you off and picking you up in clean, comfortable vehicles. To use the service, you must be a registered as an iRIDE client.

How We Keep You Informed
Our program features a notification system that will inform you about upcoming rides. This system is available via voicemail, email or SMS text message.

Book an appointment with our intake specialist and they will explain to you how to become a registered client and talk to you about which notification option works best for you.
