To Use The Service
Please call Transporte at (219) 362-6565 to schedule your ride by providing where you would like to be picked up and where you would like to be dropped off. Please provide the time for your pick up and drop off destination. Transporte will take you anywhere you want to go within the City of LaPorte and ¼ mile fringe!
Please remember Transporte is a “shared Ride” origin to destination service. We will make every effort to serve you at the pick-up and drop-off times requested, but due to scheduling constraints this will not always be possible.
TYPES OF SERVICE AVAILABLE Currently, Transporte provides three types of trips:
1. Subscription trips – A ore scheduled trip for a future date that has no end date. For example, Jane Doe needs to go to the grocery store every Saturday at 10:00 AM. 2. Demand response trips – A pre-scheduled trip that is scheduled 24 hours before the actual trip is made. For example, John Doe schedules a trip today to go to the doctor tomorrow at 1:00 PM. This means you will need to call the Dispatcher to schedule destination trip 24 hours in advance between the hours of 6:00 AM and 8:30 PM the day before you plan to ride.
Please note: If you fail to appear for a scheduled trip, you will be charged the fare which was due for the missed trip, as well as the fare for the trip you are making the next time you request Transporte service. “Exceptions will be made for circumstances that were beyond your control causing the missed trip” at the Dispatchers or the Directors discretion.
