The Paratransit Service is a transportation benefit program that offers accessible transportation options at a flat fee for older adults who may require assistance with their commute. Pricing details vary depending on the service area, with rates ranging from $2 to $8. This program specifically caters to individuals with disabilities or mobility limitations, providing paratransit services through buses or trains. Riders are required to schedule their rides in advance, typically a few days prior, and pre-payment is accepted. One of the key features of this program is the option for shared rides, allowing multiple passengers to travel together to their destinations. Payment can be made in cash, making it convenient for older adults who may not have access to other forms of payment. Additionally, the Paratransit Service ensures curb-to-curb transportation, meaning that passengers will be picked up and dropped off at locations that are easily accessible for them. Overall, the Paratransit Service is a reliable and accessible transportation option for older adults in need of specialized assistance for their daily commuting needs.
