Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS)
The IVRS gives MTA passengers the flexibility to request or check on rides at their convenience, including outside normal office hours. If a passenger prefers to speak with a trip coordinator, the passenger can press the number 0 on the phone keypad. New clients need to set up an initial appointment with a trip coordinator at the appropriate service center to obtain a client ID# and password. Coordinators are available during office hours 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The MTA's Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) gives passengers several inquiry options using a touch tone phone keypad. When a passenger calls a service center, the call will be answered by the IVRS. After a brief greeting and opening bulletins, a passenger will be given seven choices.

Clients will be given a choice of up to 10 locations they have traveled to or from in the last year. Trips to new locations must be booked with a trip coordinator.
