About Paratransit Service
Paratransit service is a reservation-based, shared-ride, curb to curb service designed to provide comparable paratransit service for individuals with disabilities who are not able to use the fixed route service.
Paratransit service is available to individuals with disabilities, as well as seniors (age 65+), and Medicare card holders. Paratransit-eligible passengers must receive certification through an application process.
Paratransit services operate during the same hours and days as TCRTA’s local fixed route system. Reservations are accepted seven days a week and can be made up to two weeks (14 days) in advance

Route deviation is only provided for the portions of commuter routes that fall within TCRTA’s service area (not within the City of Porterville, City of Visalia, or neighboring counties).
Deviated fixed route services operate the same hours and days as TCRTA’s commuter fixed route system. Service hours vary by route. Next day reservations are required and are taken seven days a week.
