Reservations may be made up to two weeks in advance or a minimum of two business days in advance of your desired appointment day. If the time requested is not available, MCAT will offer alternative days and/or times available. Please note when you call to schedule a trip, you may not request a specific reservation staff member. Space is on a first-come, first-served basis. TD Scheduling for Non-Medical (Life-Sustaining, Food, and Nutrition) is on Tuesday and Thursday only. Trips are prioritized by trip purpose, days, times, location and restrictions set in place in order to remain within the MCAT budget, capacity constraints and operational cost. TD Scheduling for Medical is Monday through Friday. Fare is $2 for each one-way trip, and exact funds are required.
