Step 2: Scheduling a Van Gogh Trip
The trip coordinator must complete a trip request form with all the details of the trip at least seven (7) days in advance of the requested trip date.
Trip requests are granted on a “first-come, first served” basis, as capacity permits.
Step 3: Confirmation
Once your trip request is approved and scheduled we will contact the trip coordinator to confirm all the details of the trip.
On the day of your trip:
- Your agency is responsible for ensuring that each rider pays their fare. Prior to boarding, the round trip fare will be collected.
- Cash or SF Paratransit tickets are accepted as payment.
- Please be prepared to board the shuttle at your scheduled pickup time and location.
