Service Area
Dial A Ride will provide transportation within the Town of Monroe, including the Villages of Monroe and Harriman. We also service The Town of Woodbury on selected day(s) of the week. We provide curb to curb share ride service to customers that book reservations with at least a minimum of three (3) days in advance. We are not permitted on any private roads or on private property including driveways. If your location is considered to be dangerous, for your safety and the safety of our drivers we reserve the right to assign a different pick up or drop off safe location.

How It Works

Reservation Dial A Ride Service

Every Rider must call our office to make a reservation in order to schedule or make changes to a pickup.  The dispatcher will set up a time of pick up and a return time (if requested) that best meets your needs along with a share ride.  We recommend three (3) days advance notice whenever possible.  Please allow enough time before and after your pick-up for your reservation.  We will usually pick up other people along the way, Dial-A-Ride will try to service as many residents as possible along the route and will base its routes on the next pick up or drop off that best meets the route. 

Express Loop Fixed Route

The express Loop route is a fixed route service that does not require reservations.  Just be in any safe place along the route.  This route services The Town of Monroe, Harriman, and Woodbury it also connects with the Coach USA bus at two convenient locations to NYC and other nearby areas Mill Pond Parkway and Woodbury Commons.

Further, for the convenience of our passengers the fixed “Express Loop” route also stops at Harriman Commons Apartments, Lexington Hills Apartments, Lamp Light Village Apartments among other landmarks in the Town of Monroe such as Town Hall and Crystal Run on Rt. 17M. Check out the link below for details and schedule.
