What is SCCTD VanGo?

SCCTD VanGo works like a smart bus — book a trip using the app (or call in) and you’ll get picked up in minutes at a corner a short walk from the address you entered. You’ll then be matched with other passengers heading in the same direction. Rides may be shared, but the maximum number of passengers per vehicle will be limited to allow for safe in-vehicle social distancing.

How do I access SCCTD VanGo?

The best way to use this new service is through the SCCTD VanGo app. If you have a smartphone, but don’t use apps on your phone much, or if you don’t have a smartphone or cellphone, we’re here to help!

How much do rides cost?

Rides cost $3.00 each.  Rides to/from the Shiloh-Scott MetroLink Station will only cost $1.00.

New users to the SCCTD VanGo service receive two complimentary rides through Feb. 28, 2023.

No credit card? No worries. 

If you prefer paying for rides in cash, we have great news — you can pay with cash on board. Here’s how:

  • Head to the Payment Methods tab in the app menu and tap the Cash toggle.
  • When you book your ride, we’ll charge you $0 but your driver will be notified to ask you for your cash payment when you board the vehicle.
  • Only exact change is accepted. Your driver won’t be able to give you change!

Where and when can I take a ride?

You can book a ride between 5 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday anywhere within the service zone.
