Description
Description | The MTA's Access-A-Ride is a local paratransit program providing more than 40,000 daily trips on weekdays to eligible riders with disabilities. The program complements fixed route services such as subway and bus, and must provide shared-ride, origin-to-destination service as mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The program faces financial and operational challenges related to the proposed fare-free bus system, which would require paratransit rides to be free as well, leading to significant revenue loss and increased operational costs due to increased ridership demand. |
