In order to use Paratransit service, all passenger needs to be registered with Sacramento Regional Transit District.

Reservationists are on duty daily from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (including holidays) to book, schedule, and confirm your travel plans and “Ready Times”. Please expect our vehicle to arrive for you within a half hour of your “Ready Time”. Our reservationists will work with you and make every effort to serve your needs.

Reservations are accepted one to two days in advance of the day of your ride. We do not provide same-day emergency service. Please remember to gather your origin and destination addresses and phone numbers before calling us.

Paratransit trips are available seven days a week, including holidays, from approximately 5:00 a.m. through 12:30 a.m. (just after midnight). Limited trips are available prior to 5:00 a.m. and until approximately 1:00 a.m. within 3/4 of a mile of RT bus and light rail service in operation.

ADA paratransit service is avaiable during the same days and hours that RT’s fixed-route and light rail service operates. The ADA paratransit service complements the bus or light rail service in operation at the time. The service day is shorter on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.

The reservationist will tell you if paratransit service is available during the days and hours you want to travel, and can assist you with planning your trip. You will be picked up within 30 minutes after the Ready Time negotiated. You must board the bus within five minutes of arrival at your pick-up location. If you aren’t ready, the driver must leave without you and your trip status will be recorded as a “no show.”

We require exact change each time you board. Fares within our service area are $5.50 each way, except for airport trips, which are $10.00 one way, payable by cash or coupons because they are outside our service area.

We do not currently provide service to Roseville or West Sacramento. We service most other urban communities served by the Sacramento Regional Transit District.

The Automated Telephone System is designed to give you quick and convenient self-service access to the Paratransit, Inc., information and services you need most. It will provide selected general information, as well as allow you to Schedule new rides and Confirm and Cancel existing rides. It will call you with a reminder for trips you have scheduled for the next day. Because this system is connected directly to our dispatching system, the Automated Telephone System will notify you that a vehicle is on its way to your pick-up location – and it will even provide you with the most current estimated arrival time.

The Automated Telephone System uses advanced technology that engages you in a “conversation” to determine what you need and it responds accordingly. Simply use the numeric keypad on any touch tone telephone to book, cancel, or find out about your rides. You can transfer to a Call Center Agent at any point during your Automated Telephone System call by pressing 0 (zero).

It”s easy!
