Ride-alongs are usually required but the number of them is very minimal for EMT-Basic, and you are just riding along, you are not committing to any ongoing service in EMS.
It still amazes me that some training programs don't arrange vehiculars (ride-a-longs) or clinicals for their students. I don't know of a training program in Arizona that requires students to arrange their own, at least at the Basic Level. EMT basic classes have gotten expensive, up to the $700-800 range in AZ.
