2026 Updates!
Athens On Demand is making a few updates to better serve more riders across Athens County.
As a public transit rideshare service, trips may include multiple passengers traveling to different locations. Sharing rides helps us serve more people while keeping transportation reliable and accessible for our community.
Here’s what to know:
🕒 Scheduling by Time Priority
Trips are planned based on your requested pick-up or drop-off time (whichever is most important for your trip). Pick-ups are arranged within one hour of your requested time.
📅 Schedule Ahead
Rides can be scheduled up to one week in advance.
Recurring rides are not available at this time.
📞 Ride Confirmation
You’ll receive a confirmation call or text the evening before your trip with your exact pick-up time.
📍 Trip Limits
A maximum of two stops per day can be scheduled. “Run-in and out” stops cannot be accommodated.
💡 Helpful Tip:
Peak travel times are 7–8 AM and 3–5 PM. If your schedule allows, traveling outside those hours makes booking easier.
These updates help us:
✔ Serve more riders
✔ Improve on-time performance
✔ Maintain dependable, accessible transportation
