Sioux Area Metro operated an old-time trolley styled bus in the downtown area. In 2014 operation of the service was assumed by Downtown Sioux Falls Inc, and in 2019 they were joined by a coalition of local businesses to continue funding through 2022.{{Cite web|last=Tuchscherer|first=Rebekah|title=Downtown Sioux Falls Trolley saved for 2018 summer|url=https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/city/2018/05/29/downtown-sioux-falls-trolley-saved-2018-summer/653079002/|access-date=2020-10-26|website=Argus Leader|language=en-US}}

Sioux Area Metro also operated four school "tripper" routes until May 2016. These routes were open to the public, with high schools as destinations.

Sioux Falls Paratransit is an extension to the city's fixed-route system, and persons with disabilities are encouraged to use it. Each paratransit bus is equipped with a wheelchair lift. All passengers must be certified by guidelines established by the Americans with Disabilities Act, and be registered with Sioux Area Metro after qualifying. Passengers must schedule Paratransit trips by calling their local office.{{Cite web|url=http://www.siouxfalls.org/sam/paratransit|title=Paratransit Service - City of Sioux Falls|website=www.siouxfalls.org|access-date=2018-04-15}}
