Demand-Responsive Service: Dial-A-Ride (DAR)Dial-A-Ride is a combined general public / paratransit service operating up to seven peak-hour vehicles within the Madera Urbanized Area.

Although Dial-A-Ride is available to any member of the general public, its first priority is to provide complementary paratransit service in response to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Reservations may be made on a demand-response, advance reservation, or subscription basis. The DAR system provides over 41,000 passenger trips per year with approximately 8,500 service hours. This service is offered during the same days and hours as the fixed-route service plus on Sundays from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Service requests are accepted seven days per week. Reservations are taken by answering machine when the administrative/dispatch office is closed.
