Dial A Bus
To provide for the special
transportation needs of all seniors and
people with disabilities in Benton
County. The Dial-A-Bus program has been
operating for over 30 years under the
auspices of the Senior Citizens Council
of Benton County Inc. It began with one
man driving his own vehicle and using
his home phone to schedule rides. We
have grown to nine demand response
vehicles and four contract service buses
that provide transportation to work for
our disabled clients and to adult
daycare. Dial-A-Bus is a
non-profit program providing curb to
curb transportation service to seniors
over 60 years of age who are unable to
use the Corvallis Transit System and ADA
certified disabled of all ages. We
provide wheelchair accessible service 7
days a week.
