Seniors & Accessible Transportation Services
A Guide to Specialized Transportation Services (Spanish version) for seniors and people with disabilities in Santa Cruz County is published by the RTC. This guide lists accessible transportation services available in Santa Cruz County including eligibility requirements, hours/schedule, service charges, service area, and more details.
ParaCruz (operated by Santa Cruz Metro) and Lift Line (operated by Community Bridges) are key providers of local accessible transportation services.
Annual Unmet Needs List
Unmet paratransit and transit needs are those transportation needs which are not being met by the current public transit system, have community support, and do not duplicate transit services provided publicly or privately. The Unmet Needs List serves to highlight these needs for the decision makers and public as well as provide input on the highest priority unmet needs. The list is drafted by the E&D TAC and is reviewed and adopted by the Regional Transportation Commission each year.
The 2020 Final Draft Unmet Transit and Paratransit Needs List will be brought to RTC for consideration at their May 2020 meeting. Public input on the Unmet Needs List can be submitted using the the online form. Comments received will be considered in future updates.
