TRANSPORTATION FOR DISABLED
An important transportation program is available to the disabled residents of our community. Access Services is a high quality, curb-to-curb, para-transit (dial-a-ride) program that provides transportation to eligible individuals in the San Gabriel Valley.

The program offers disabled individuals the opportunity to travel beyond their current city boundaries to most locations in the San Gabriel Valley and to downtown Los Angeles. Disabled individuals that cannot use the regular fixed route bus system can use this service for their transportation needs beyond the limits of our dial-a-ride program. Cost for one-way fare is $1.50.

The program is highly specialized. Individuals must be certified for Access Services. Candidates are those persons with disabilities who cannot board, ride, or exit any established bus or rail system. For information on the certification process and to arrange trips, call 1-800-827-0829, or for the hearing impaired, 1-800-827-1359.

The Access Services para-transit program is funded and operated by the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission as a requirement of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
