ADA

Individuals with a disability may request modifications to current service procedures to access the service. To make a request, please call us at 573-826-3939 or email us at dispatch@serveinc.net. For transportation modifications and requests, please submit requests at least the day before the trip.

Passengers can request reasonable modifications for all modes (fixed route, general public demand response, and ADA paratransit). Passengers making requests are not required to use the term “reasonable modification.” The Transportation Lead will review all requests and provide the determination. For on-the-spot requests, the driver should contact dispatch. Dispatch will contact the Tran Lead. Documentation will be maintained regarding the request and the resulting action taken.
