Specialized transportation serves older adults, people with disabilities, people with low incomes, youth, and other people with mobility and accessibility needs. Specialized transportation, such as ADA paratransit, demand-response vans, or volunteer transportation programs, fills gaps in the regional transit network and expands mobility options for people in the region.
