Handbook Cover Transportation Agencies

The transportation agencies listed on the following pages provide a variety of services to individuals with disabilities seeking reliable transportation to work. These services include reduced fares on commuter and local bus routes, as well as curb-to-curb and door-to-door transportation through dial-a-ride and ADA paratransit services.There are a number of things to keep in mind for those using any of the transportation services offered:

REDUCED FARES

To qualify for half fare, an elderly or disabled passenger must present a Medicare card, State-issued transit reduced-fare photo ID, or ADA ID.

EXACT CHANGE

In general public transit and dial-a-ride services require exact change.

DIAL-A-RIDE SERVICES

Operating in most communities, these offer door-to-door transportation for those who are elderly or disabled . They are useful for medical appointments or shopping trips but may not operate during typical commuting hours. Some are able to provide reliable transportation to and from work.

ADA PARATRANSIT SERVICES

ADA paratransit services are limited to those who cannot, because of their disabilities, get to bus stops or access buses. They operate within 3/4-mile of bus stops on local routes. Service hours are usually the same as the local bus route. To use ADA services, riders must be eligible and certified according to the Americans with Disabilities Act. Certification information ion and forms are available through transit district offices.

ADA FARES

ADA paratransit services may charge up to double the regular adult cash fare on local buses.

RESERVATIONS

Most dial-a-ride and paratransit services allow reservations from 24 hours to 14 days in advance. Commuters can usually make a daily reservation for two weeks at a time.

CANCELLATIONS

Services require several hours notice for cancellations, some as much as 24 hours. They also may have time limits on how long drivers can wait to pick up a passenger.

SUSPENSIONS

Many services suspend habitual "no-shows"-those who do not cancel pickups appropriately and are not available when the van arrives.

ACCESSIBLE VEHICLES

By the end of 1996, all local buses will be lift-equipped in accordance with the ADA. In addition, many already have kneeling features to assist those who have difficulty climbing stairs.

CALLING AHEAD

No matter what service you need, ifs a good idea to check with a transportation agency of interest to verify services, schedules, and fares.Transportation agencies are listed by area. Check the heading for your area below to see if public transportation is offered in your community.
