The road to mobility begins with an annual membership fee of $50 and a prepaid Personal Transportation Account™ based on estimated usage. Since you don’t pay cash and we only use private automobiles, riding with ITN is more like riding with a friend than taking a taxi.

Customer service and consumer choice are paramount. You can plan in advance or ride on demand; ride alone or share a ride; ride by the hour or by the mile.
