How is a visitor’s paratransit eligibility determined?
Visitors are considered eligible if they present documentation of ADA paratransit eligibility from their home jurisdiction’s paratransit system. Visitors will also be considered eligible if they can present proof of visitor status (i.e., proof of residence somewhere else) and, if the individual’s disability is not apparent, proof of the disability (e.g., a letter from a doctor or rehabilitation professional). Once this documentation is presented and is satisfactory, the local entity must make service available on the basis of the individual’s statement that he or she is unable to use the fixed route transit system. (§37.
