AnchorRIDES Fares and Donations

Various programs provide services using AnchorRIDES vehicles, and each sets different fare rates. Please refer to the services below. All fare and donation payments can be made using the following methods:

Fare and Donation Payment Methods:

Call AnchorRIDES Customer Service at 343-2550 to set up a credit account and charge a credit or bank check card. If you do not have a credit or back check card, you can mail in a check or money order. This allows pre-payment of the fare and avoid the need to have exact cash or tickets.
