Paratransit

The Paratransit service provides specialized curb to curb transportation for eligible persons with disabilities who are not able to access regular fixed route transit service. The Paratransit service area includes any trip origination and destination within 3/4 of a mile on either side of the fixed route transportation system. Customers residing outside of the ADA service area may be certified but are responsible for getting to the ADA service area. The transportation is curb-to-curb service and any customer requiring assistance to or from the vehicle or while traveling may have a Personal Care Assistant (PCA) ride along with them at no additional cost. 

Full service is available Monday-Friday from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and on Saturday from 7:45 AM to 6:00 PM.  Modified evening service is also available.

Trip requests may be made until the close of business the day prior to the trip but no more than 14 days in advance and are on a first come first serve basis. There is no restriction or priority on a trip purpose. 

Interested individuals must complete an application and have it certified by a health care professional. The application process and determination of eligibility is handled by the County Commuter. Current fare is $2.00 per trip.
