Don’t have a smartphone? Don’t worry! If you do not have a smartphone, you can sign up for an Uber account at Uber.com. Then, you can login to your Uber account at m.Uber.com and request a ride from the website. If you do not have a smartphone and are unable to schedule a trip on a computer, then registered residents can call 214-515-7272 to schedule a Joppa Rides trip through DART Mobility Management Services. |
Scheduling an Uber Trip To request a ride, you must be at least 18 years of age. Anyone under that age must be accompanied by an adult 18 years old or older. Each Joppa Rides Uber trip can include up to four people. | |
| ❶ | Schedule a ride Open the Uber app, then tap the button that says, “Ride,” or the button that says, “Now,” located just to the right of the “Where to?” bar. |
| ❷ | Provide pickup info Set your pickup date, time, location, destination, and ride type. For all Joppa Rides trips, you should select the “UberX” service type. Click or slide the round button at the bottom of the screen to the suitcase icon to select your business/DART profile. The text next to the button should say, “Dallas Area Rapid Transit.” If your trip origin and destination are located within the Joppa Rides service area, there will be no charge for the first two trips each day. |
| ❸ | Get set to ride Confirm the details of your upcoming trip and tap “Schedule.” Edit or cancel any time before your ride. Learn more about the cancellation policy below in the Frequently Asked Questions. |
If you cancel the trip before you are matched with a driver, there is no penalty and you still have two trips available for the day. If you cancel your trip after you have been matched with a driver, or if you are a no-show for pickup, that counts as a "trip."
DART has the right to suspend, for a reasonable amount of time, individuals who establish a pattern or practice of no-show or late cancellations. All potential suspensions will be handled on a case-by-case basis
Yes, you will need to purchase a DART ticket or pass if you connect to other DART services like bus or rail. Learn more at DART.org/fares.
Each Joppa Rides trip can transport up to four passengers. Only one person in the group should schedule the Uber ride.
A "trip" is a one-way trip. For example, if you use the Joppa Rides program to take Uber from your home to the Fiesta Mart grocery store, that is one trip. If you get a ride from Fiesta Mart back to your house, that is your second trip. Each registered Joppa resident can take two free trips per day.
