 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.
