[NFBofAlaska] Anchor Rides

Tue Jul 20 16:17:25 UTC 2021

Good morning, here is some info from the AnchorRides web site. It does look like the premium areas do change depending on People Movers scheduled routes. There is a link that identifies where the core/ premium service areas are.
AnchorRIDES base/ core service area covers distances up to 3/4 mile from People Mover fixed routes as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for comparable paratransit service. AnchorRIDES uses software that provides geographic coordinates to determine if trip addresses are within 3/4 mile of People Mover bus routes. As People Mover route locations expand or contract, so does the AnchorRIDES core area.
Premium service areas are locations beyond 3/4 mile of People Mover fixed routes but within the overall service area boundary. Our mapping software determines if the trip address is more or less than 3/4 mile from a People Mover bus route and in an approved premium area. Premium service is approved by the MOA, but not required under the Americans with Disabilities Act for paratransit services. AnchorRIDES has three (3) premium areas within the Anchorage bowl area; generally described as:

  1.  Anchorage Hillside
  2.  Klatt/Bayshore
  3.  Sand Lake

I wonder if they have made any changes to the preferred zone? Aubrie had a dental appointment at our regular dentist and I don’t remember paying the higher price when I went there last but, maybe I just forgot. Thanks everyone for your help.

I don’t think so Bonnie, I’ve been riding a lot lately, and nobody has said anything to me about an extra two dollars.
That 550 is usually for the outlying areas like Dearmin or Hoffman.
