Bee-Line ParaTransit offers a shared ride transportation service designed for senior citizens and individuals with disabilities in Westchester County. This service operates along Bee-Line bus service corridors and is compliant with ADA regulations, ensuring accessible transportation options.
ADA and the Role of ParaTransit
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 is a landmark civil rights law aimed at eliminating barriers for people with disabilities in all aspects of public life. Within public transportation, the ADA mandates that while fixed-route bus services should be the primary mode of transport for everyone, including individuals with disabilities, a supplementary service is necessary. This is where Paratransit Transportation comes into play.
Transit agencies, such as the Westchester County Department of Transportation, are required under ADA to provide demand-responsive paratransit service. This service is designed to mirror the fixed-route service in terms of operating hours and service areas, offering origin-to-destination and curb-to-curb transportation. Bee-Line ParaTransit serves as this crucial “safety net” for individuals who are unable to utilize the standard Bee-Line fixed-route bus system due to functional limitations.
Service Area and Further Information
Bee-Line ParaTransit operates within a 3/4 mile radius of existing Bee-Line bus routes and only during the operational hours of those corresponding bus routes.
