Our transportation system offers options for seniors and people with disabilities, but this system can be intimidating. All fixed-route services are accessible and meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements; fixed routes are services with set schedules and routes that have frequent, same-day service, and no reservation needed. Beyond fixerd-route, there are also services that are on-demand and paratransit. Many of these services require reservation in advance. Discounted fares are often available for seniors and eligible customers with disabilities.
