Visitors to the Salem-Keizer area
Visitors from out of town, who have been determined eligible under the ADA by their home transit agency, or who can provide documentation of a disability that prevents them from using the regular accessible fixed route bus system may request eligible status for up to 21 (non-consecutive) days per year (365 days) without having to go through the full assessment process. Approval will be granted on the same business day; however, no later than 24-hours from initial contact.
If visiting for a shorter period of time, riders may provide proof of eligibility from the home transit agency under the ADA. Contact the Cherriots Call Center for information to establish visitor status and receive instructions on how to access the local ADA paratransit system. Because the services are pre-scheduled, you will need to call ahead for making trip arrangements. Approval of visitor status will be granted within 24 hours of initial contact.

Book in Advance
Cherriots LIFT services may be booked up to 14 days before your trip. Trips must be booked by 4:30 p.m. the day before your trip on weekdays and by 3 p.m. on Sundays.
When to Be Ready
You should be ready, watching, and waiting at the beginning of your 30-minute pickup window. Transportation providers wait five minutes once they arrive within the pickup window before moving to the next reservation.
Cancellations
When you need to cancel a ride or change your pick up time, you must call the Cherriots call center or use the Cherriots LIFT app to do so as soon as possible.
No-Show Policy
A demonstrated pattern of no-shows, (see below for examples), is seriously disruptive to Cherriots LIFT service. Within a 30-day period, three or more no-shows, or no-shows that are 10 percent of completed trips (whichever is greater), will be grounds for service suspension. Only no-shows and late cancellations that are within the rider’s control will be counted toward the policy.
Cancellations made less than two hours in advance of the pickup time, a cancellation at the door, or not being present or ready to leave within five minutes after the vehicle operator comes to the door are all considered no-shows. If a rider is a no-show on a ride starting from the rider’s home, the rider must contact the call center or use the Cherriots LIFT app to cancel any other scheduled rides no longer needed that day to avoid receiving additional no-shows.
Feedback
Cherriots is committed to receiving feedback from our riders. You might contact us for a variety of reasons: to compliment a driver, make a complaint about an issue, share a safety concern, or offer general feedback.
