Our goal is to provide a safe workplace and offer safe and courteous transportaton to the public. Which would include knowledge of traffic laws, keeping records, maintaining conduct and order on the bus, operate a bus on a regular schedule or on a special occasion, pre and post trip inspections, minor maintenance and repair tasks including adding necessary fluids, knowledge and physical ability to secure wheelchair's and operate lifts. The transportation provisions of the ADA guarantee individuals equal access to the area services and programs that are available to the general public. These provisions require that transportation services, programs, and the facilities are made accessible to individuals, including people who use wheelchairs. The Town of Monroe Dial-A-Bus is committed to offering safe, reliable, affordable and professional transportation to the general public. We will ensure that our passengers receive a safe ride, and that all passengers receive equal service. We are professional and respect all individuals/residents that ride our buses. *Dial-A-Bus will transport anyone who needs a ride to the new Town Hall (1465 Orange Turnpike) and the new Crystal Run Health Center via the Express Bus. All the rider has to do is to tell the bus driver when they get on the bus that they want to go to the Town Hall. If the rider wants to catch the Express bus (return) they must inform the bus driver and the bus will be there approximately 1 hour from their drop off time.
