Book a Trip Online
LIFT CARES Online
The online trip booking tool allows LIFT customers to book, cancel and manage their trips online. After creating an account you will be able to easily reserve and cancel trips, view all of your upcoming trips on a calendar, and make changes to any rides all from your computer, smartphone or tablet.
This feature will be available to customers receiving door-to-door service and who are paying their own fare for the trips. County-funded trips and customers receiving hand-to-hand service have special handling requirements and trips must continue to be booked through a reservationist or through the fax/email process.

In the winter of 2019, LIFT launched LIFT CARES its new Customer Notification System. This new feature will help preserve the security of your personal information and provide valuable information to customers for upcoming trips on LIFT. Here are a few more features that will help you stay on top of your rides:
- Phone call reminders for your trips the next day. If you no longer need a ride and would like to cancel, just select the option to cancel your trip!
- Automatic vehicle arrival notice. You will receive a phone call letting you know when your vehicle is about 15 minutes away.
- If you are meeting a LIFT customer at their destination, you can set up an advance call for when they are within 15 minutes of arrival. A great new feature for customers receiving hand-to-hand service.
- In the event of inclement weather that impacts LIFT’s ability to safely deliver service, you will receive a call notifying you of the status of LIFT service.
