Accessible Public Transportation
Communities that have public transportation are required to offer options for transportation that are
accessible for those who have limitations because of disability. The common form of accessible public
transportation is called ADA Paratransit. In most cases, consumers need to apply and be determined
eligible by their local public transportation entity. ADA Paratransit offers ramps and wheelchair lifts for
consumers who use wheelchairs. ADA Paratransit usually offers curb-to-curb service that needs to be
reserved several days ahead of time. Some communities also offer free rides once a week from a Dial-A-
Ride service.
