What is your no-show and cancellation policy?
CARTS reserves the right to suspend from services any person, who establishes a pattern or practice of missing scheduled trips without calling to cancel their scheduled trip. CARTS will work with the person to reduce their no-shows prior to suspending service.
CARTS will review all no-shows to ensure the process was followed properly to accurately record the number of occurrences. No-shows that exceed 20% per month may result in service suspension or reinstatement fee. The first occurrence of 20% or more per month may result in a 1 week service suspension. The second occurrence within a 3 month timeframe may result in a 2 week suspension of service. The third occurrence within a 6 month timeframe may result in a 3 week suspension. The fourth occurrence in a 6 month timeframe may result in a 4 week suspension. All suspension decisions will be the responsibility of the Transit Director and are subject to appeal.
We understand that situations arise and there may be a need to cancel your appointment. If this occurs, please contact our office at 330.424.4015 as soon as you are aware of the change, a minimum of 2 hours prior to ensure you are logged as a cancellation and not a NO-SHOW
