passenger assistance that is provided by
the driver, and the role of the consumer
in helping the driver to accomplish our

have the ability to view all trips
scheduled for consumers who attend the
center, cancel trips to or from the
center, and view actual pick-up and
drop-off times for consumers for the
current day or previous day of service.
