ADA Paratransit is a specialized transportation program designed to assist individuals with disabilities or limitations that prevent them from using regular public transportation services. This program offers curb-to-curb transportation, meaning that riders will be picked up and dropped off directly at their specified locations. Riders are able to travel with service animals, ensuring that they can safely and comfortably reach their destinations.

The program provides shared rides, allowing multiple passengers to travel together to reduce costs and increase efficiency. The fare for each one-way trip is $2.50, and payment can be made using cash or a check. Additionally, riders have the option to pre-pay for their trips to streamline the payment process. One of the standout features of the ADA Paratransit program is its accommodation for passengers with packages or bags, making it convenient for individuals who may require assistance with their belongings. Overall, this program is a reliable and accessible transportation option for older adults and individuals with disabilities who need personalized support to travel within their community.
