PDRTA’s Paratransit Program is a curb to curb, shared ride, transportation service. Advanced reservations are required. The service is available to anyone pre-qualified (and certified by a medical professional) on the basis of having a physical or mental disability, whether short-term or permanent.

Passengers requiring extra help to get to the door may request a modification of this policy when scheduling their trips. In such cases, the driver will provide additional assistance on a door-to-door basis.

NOTE: Please note that our drivers are not permitted to enter the residence and must be within sight of the bus at all times.
