"Rides On Demand option in the City of Sarnia, designed for registered clients to request a ride within the city on short notice. Through the dedicated app, you’ll be able to request same-day pick-ups, helping those who need accessible, flexible transportation without the advance scheduling that traditional service required. This service is especially helpful for eligible riders who use the Care-A-Van service, as it complements the scheduled trips by giving more immediacy and choice.
