Carpool Rides
We do offer carpool services for parents and guardians requesting their Kids or Youth to go to the same destination. Pick up for both kids & youth must be within a 5 mile radius of each other. Our carpool service is a for an economic approach for parents and guardians. You can call, text or submit a quote to arrange carpool services with other Eastern Shore Transit customers or family, friends, colleagues, and other trusted partners on your behalf that are traveling to the same destination such as school and or extracurricular activities or arrange your own carpool services with those you are comfortable with.

Kids & Youth service is very delicate and requires a lot of preparation and attentiveness before parents or guardians and Eastern Shore Transit come to an agreement of the expectations and level of care needed when providing transportation service to your child. It's best that we follow the steps before Kid or Youth Transportation is booked.
First Step
We can arrange frequent visits with the parents and your child at our public location meeting spots prior to booking your appointment service date to get your child comfortable with the assigned chauffeur and vehicle. If the child and or parents/guardians are uncomfortable, then unfortunately, this particular service will not be available as an option because we want the Kids or Youth to feel safe and parents as our customers to be comfortable. We hope you understand!
Second Step
You choose and trust Eastern Shore Transit to provide transportation service for your child. All parents and Guardians must complete a
Parental Consent/Travel Form before booking any
transportation services. Without the consent form completed, Eastern Shore Transit does reserve the right to cancel any booked appointments. The consent is to protect both parties and ensure we abide by the child and parents needs.
Third Step
Once the
consent is completed, you can book the transportation service needed for your child 24 hours prior to the service date which will require you to reserve a card on file until the day of service. After you have booked your child's service, you will
receive a follow-up call, text and or email for additional and confirmation details.
Fourth Step
On the day of service, our chauffeurs will arrive at the pick up address and the provided debit or credit card by the purchaser used to hold your
appointment, will be charged for the full amount and additional charges or fees if any at the end of service.
Fifth Step
The selected transportation service is provided with frequent and thorough communication at all times when your children are in our care via phone at the time of service! No exceptions, we want to ease the fear and worry of the whereabouts of your children. We inform you once the child is with the proper guardians and at the location based on the information provided at the time of booking. We give each child a personal escort to the authority and only that authority of the provided identification in the parental consent and if the identity of the individual does not match we do not leave the child with anyone else unless given the permission from the custodial parent, guardian(s) or purchaser who can give that consent. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Parents, Guardians and Family, you can now feel relieved knowing that there is a service you can rely on and trust! To your children, we hope they enjoy the ride experience and the provided appropriate amenities for the duration of their service!
