Seniors & Accessible Transportation Services

A range of specialized transportation services are available for seniors and people with disabilities.

A Guide to Specialized Transportation Services for Seniors and People with Disabilities in Santa Cruz County is published by the RTC.  Future versions will be available in Spanish and large print formats. This Guide lists all the accessible transportation services available in Santa Cruz County including:

• Program, service or provider name
• Eligibility requirements
• Hours/schedule
• Service charges
• Service area
• How to request the service
• How trips are prioritized
• Number of vehicles available
• Whether wheelchairs are accommodated
• Link to the service website (if available)

ParaCruz (operated by Santa Cruz Metro) and Lift Line (operated by Community Bridges) are key providers of local accessible transportation services.

The RTC’s Elderly & Disabled Transportation Advisory Committee (E&D TAC) generally meets every even numbered month and advises the RTC on planning, policy and funding issues affecting accessible transportation. All are welcome to attend the E&D TAC meetings.  Voting members include citizens, representatives from groups/agencies working with seniors and people with disabilities, and transportation service providers.
