What is a Point Deviation Route?

A point deviation route operates within the higher population areas in an established directional route pattern with limited checkpoint stops, but without the usual designated vehicle stops since riders are picked up at their residence along the route and delivered to their desired destination. This type of system is much more accessible and convenient for the public. Individuals don’t have to walk several blocks to a bus stop and are not dropped off at a bus stop that could be several blocks from their destination. Individuals can schedule rides with as little as fifteen minutes to a half hour of pickup lead-time due to Catch-A-Ride’s direct radio contact with its vehicles. This allows for a high level of spontaneity in individual transportation plans.

Passengers may board or exit the Catch-A-Ride Public Transit Vehicle at any checkpoint without calling for a pickup. Passengers wishing to be picked up at other locations within Dearborn County need to call 1-800-330-7603 or 812-432-3960 to schedule a pickup.
