RTA – Paratransit Service
The Paratransit Service of the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority provides transportation service to persons with disabilities.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into federal law in 1990. The ADA protects the rights of all people without regard to their physical and/or cognitive disabilities. The ADA states that all individuals have a right to use available public transportation. The ADA requires that individuals not able to independently ride public buses be provided with an equivalent, corresponding service for their transportation needs within the established service area.
This corresponding service is called Paratransit service. Paratransit service is provided to persons who, because of their disabilities, are unable to independently travel on the public transit system.
