  2. Scroll to ‘More,’ choose Access, then tap Schedule in the bottom-right corner of your screen. 

  3. Enter your pickup location and tap Confirm pickup.

Access Ride Tips:

  • Most of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles are rear entry, which means the ramp will fold out from the back. Requesting your Access ride from a street corner will help ensure a smooth pickup.
