Provides rides for any purpose, as long as you meet one of the following criteria: you have a disability.

Paratransit is a unique transportation option designed for older adults and individuals with mobility challenges who require non-emergency medical transportation services. This public transit program offers convenient rides via taxis or car services, ensuring that older adults can reach their medical appointments, run errands, or attend social activities with ease. To utilize this service, riders need to schedule their rides in advance, typically at least one day or a few days prior to their intended trip. The program accepts various forms of payment, including insurance, vouchers, coupons, donations, and Medicaid payments. While there is a membership fee and a flat fee for service, the cost is often double the fixed route bus fare. Passengers are required to have the exact fare upon boarding the vehicle, but transportation tickets are available for purchase in advance. Paratransit also offers flexibility in scheduling, allowing for on-demand rides and shared transportation services. Moreover, this program goes the extra mile by providing door-to-door or curb-to-curb transportation, ensuring that older adults can travel comfortably from their pickup location to their destination. Service animals are permitted onboard, and riders can get assistance with packages or bags. With its commitment to accessibility and convenience, Paratransit is a valuable resource for older adults looking for safe and reliable transportation options.
