If your child uses Access Paratransit and is five years of age or younger, an adult attendant (PCA) must accompany the child. All eligible riders, regardless of age, must pay the fare.
When scheduling a trip please be sure to inform the Reservationist that the child rider will be traveling with an attendant.
Children 5 years of age or younger scheduled to travel with eligible riders are not charged.
IMPORTANT! Access Paratransit does not provide safety seats for children. Children 5 years of age or younger or children weighing less than 60 pounds must be secured in a car safety seat when traveling on board an Access Paratransit vehicle or they will not be transported. You may be ticketed by local law enforcement if your child is not in a child safety seat. It is the responsibility of the parent or PCA, not the driver, to secure the safety seat and child.
Non-service animals may travel on Access Paratransit only if the animal is in a properly secured cage or container that meets the guidelines of the package policy and does not jeopardize the health or safety of other passengers or the driver. The driver cannot assist in loading or unloading the cage or container.
Reminder: Please be considerate of riders who may be fearful of dogs or other animals.
