Paratransit Service Information
At Core Transit, we are committed to providing accessible transportation options for everyone. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, we offer paratransit services, also known as “origin to destination” service, for individuals with functional limitations that prevent them from using our fixed-route buses.
Eligibility for Paratransit Service
This service is designed for trips that cannot be made on Core Transit fixed-route buses. If you believe you may qualify for paratransit service, please complete the Core Transit ADA Paratransit Eligibility Application – 2024. This application helps us assess when and under what circumstances you can utilize our fixed-route service, as well as when paratransit service is necessary.
Confidentiality and Use of Information
All information provided in this application will be used solely to facilitate curb-to-curb transportation services. We may share your information with other transit providers only if you request it for travel in other service areas. Rest assured, your information will not be shared with any other individuals or agencies.

Accessibility and Non-Discrimination Policies
Core Transit is accessible to persons with disabilities. Core Transit buses are equipped with wheelchair lifts or ramps that enable persons in wheelchairs or persons who cannot navigate steps to ride the bus. Operators are trained to assist riders to use lifts and ramps, and secure wheelchairs, as well as provide information on destinations served. You may travel with your respirator, and/or portable oxygen. Service animals are welcome on board buses and in our facilities. Public information is available in alternative formats upon request.
Reasonable Modification Policy
Passengers with disabilities may request modifications to current service procedures to access the service. To make a request, please call us at (970)328-3520, or email us at paratransit@CoreTransit.org. Please submit requests no later than 5 pm the previous day. Core Transit will not charge additional fees for passengers requiring reasonable modifications.
If you have a complaint about the accessibility of the transit system or service or believe you have been discriminated against because of your disability, you can file a complaint. Please provide all facts and circumstances surrounding your issue or complaint so we can fully investigate the incident.

Core Transit will generally complete an investigation within 90 days from receipt of a form. If more information is needed to resolve the case, Core Transit may contact you. Unless a longer period is specified by Core Transit, you will have ten (10) days from the date of the request to send the requested information. If the requested information is not received, Core Transit may administratively close the case. A case may also be administratively closed if you no longer wish to pursue it.
After an investigation is complete, Core Transit will send you a written letter summarizing the results of the investigation, stating the findings and advising of any corrective action to be taken as a result of the investigation. If you disagree with Core Transit’s determination, you may request reconsideration by submitting a request in writing to the Director of Core Transit within seven (7) days after the date of Core Transit’s letter, stating with specificity the basis for the reconsideration. The Director of Core Transit will notify you of the decision either to accept or reject the request for reconsideration within ten (10) days. In cases where reconsideration is granted, the Director of Core Transit will issue a determination letter to the complainant upon completion of the reconsideration review.
