How it Works
ParaFlex helps ease the stress on Standard Paratransit Service vehicles. Riders who opt-in can expect Paratransit staff to dispatch either an RTC paratransit vehicle or a partner-provided private vehicle.
Ride confidently knowing that all ParaFlex partner-provided drivers pass a Federal Transit Administration drug test, are subject to random drug and alcohol testing, and undergo an extensive background check.
To use ParaFlex, customers must meet the following criteria:
- Must be able to travel independently. This service is not recommended for riders with memory or cognitive challenges that require supervision.
- Wheelchairs, scooters, and non-collapsible walkers cannot be accommodated at this time.
- A smartphone with text capabilities is required to receive ride notifications and updates.

You may be eligible for this service if: You are ADA paratransit certified, able to transfer independently, and not use a wheelchair, scooter, or non-folding walker.

Important Payment Information
RTC does not accept checks on board vehicles. If you mail a payment, only personal checks, cashier’s checks, or money orders are accepted (no third-party checks).
