 Toronto Ride Services
Toronto Ride has 14 partner agencies. These agencies provide transportation services to clients who reside within
their agency boundaries.
When an agency is unable to fulfill a ride request, the request
is sent out to all the other partners. In this way, Toronto Ride
facilitates the sharing of transportation resources to better meet the
needs of the community.
Due to increasing demands and limited resources, Toronto Ride may still be not be able to accommodate every
transportation request.
Transportation services are provided from Monday
through Friday. Some agencies have limited evening and weekend hours.
