Companion & support-person rides in Gatineau
ARK doesn’t drive in Gatineau 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 Gatineau, Quebec, companion rides will cover Hull and Aylmer through Hull and Aylmer, including trips to Hôpital de Gatineau and Hôpital de Hull. Quebec riders may access transport support through programs such as the RAMQ and the SAAQ; direct billing for care organizations through ARK is coming soon.
