    Thank you for your question.  The County is continuing efforts to refine its routes and expand service where practical.  Your input will be considered as part of this effort.  Of note older and handicapped individuals are entitle to paratransit service and can contract UCAT directly to arrange rides.  Paratransit eligibility is as a practical matter, the individual can use fixed route transit in his or her own circumstances.” Transit agencies, with input from the communities they serve, devise the specifics of their individual eligibility processes.
