Paratransit is a specialized transportation service designed to assist individuals with disabilities or mobility limitations, as well as older adults who may find it challenging to use traditional public transit. This service offers convenient door-to-door transportation using specially equipped vans, ensuring a comfortable and accessible ride for all passengers. One of the key features of the Paratransit program is its affordability and accessibility. While the standard fare for a one-way trip is $2.50, this service is free for individuals with low incomes, making it an essential resource for older adults on a tight budget. Payment can be made in cash or by check, providing flexibility for riders. To utilize the Paratransit service, passengers are required to schedule their rides in advance, typically a few days prior to their intended travel date. This advance booking system ensures that all riders can secure a seat and reach their destinations on time. Additionally, service animals are welcome on board, allowing older adults with assistance animals to travel with ease and comfort. Overall, Paratransit is a vital transportation option for older adults and individuals with disabilities, offering a reliable and affordable way to access essential services and maintain independence in their daily lives.
