Paratransit services
Paratransit services are specialized transportation options designed to assist individuals who have difficulty using regular public transit due to disabilities, mobility challenges, or health issues. These services typically include door-to-door or curb-to-curb rides provided by smaller vehicles or vans, often with trained staff to accommodate passengers' specific needs. They offer flexible scheduling and routes, improving independence and access to essential destinations such as medical appointments, shopping, or social activities. Paratransit is usually available through local transit agencies and often requires prior registration or eligibility verification.
