ADA Paratransit Services
Last Updated on Friday, 05 February 2010 08:48
The goal of any transportation system is to provide the mobility options that meet the travel needs of all community members. Within every community there are residents whose physical limitations may prevent full access to all transportation services. In many cases, these individuals are transit dependent.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 mandates that persons with disabilities cannot be denied full access to public facilities, employment or transportation. The law requires fixed-route services to be accessible, and complementary curb-to-curb service to be available for individuals whose disabilities preclude the use of fixed-route service.
