Companion & support-person rides in Hamilton
ARK doesn’t drive in Hamilton yet, so you can’t book a ride here. Tell us you need one and we’ll write to you the day we launch. Bring a support person, family member, or personal support worker along. ARK includes a companion seat so you’re never alone for an appointment or a difficult trip. When ARK launches in Hamilton, Ontario, companion rides will cover Stoney Creek and Dundas through Stoney Creek and Dundas, including trips to Hamilton General Hospital and St. Joseph's Healthcare. ODSP recipients and other Ontario disability programs may cover eligible medical trips, and the Assistive Devices Program (ADP) supports related mobility needs. Direct billing through ARK is coming soon.
