This service is designed to provide those with disabilities equal access to public transportation. You may be eligible for the service if, because of a disability:
- You cannot independently travel to/from fixed route stops.
- You could use an accessible fixed route vehicle, but the route that would be used is not accessible.
- You cannot independently navigate the system even though you can board the bus.
Eligibility for RTC ADA Paratransit Services is not a medical decision or something that can be prescribed by your physician. It is primarily a transportation decision. All who request eligibility for paratransit service must be certified, which may entail an in-person interview and possible functional assessment. Each applicant is evaluated independently based on ADA requirements.
If you believe you qualify for RTC ADA Paratransit Services, you will be required to complete the RTC Paratransit Application, which you can request by calling 702-676-1815.
