Rural transportation providers are not required to provide service in any rural area, however if they do provide a fixed-route service they are required to comply with ADA and provide ADA Complementary Paratransit service. If another type of transportation service is offered such as a taxi or shuttle ADA regulations will apply regarding equivalent and reasonable accommodation. ADA regulations and technical assistance materials are found at: http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/ada/publicat.htm.
