Effective July 1, 2013
SolTrans and all the Solano County Operators, in partnership with the Solano Transportation Authority, are implementing a new In-Person ADA Eligibility Assessment Process. The old paratransit paper application will no longer be used.
Our goal is to reserve ADA Paratransit service for persons with disabilities that prevent them from using the fixed-route public bus system. This will simplify the application process for applicants, establish an accurate standard countywide.
The new Countywide In-person ADA Eligibility Assessment Process becomes effective July 1, 2013.
We invite the public, current and prospective paratransit riders, caretakers, and human service providers to attend one of five Community Presentations in June to learn more about how the process will work.
We also invite you to the Open Houses at the Vallejo Transit Center on June 10, and the Benicia Library on June 11, 2013 to see the assessment locations and meet the C.A.R.E. Evaluators assessment team.
Rider Alert: Memorial Day 5-27-13
Service will return to normal weekday operation on Tuesday May 28th.

OAKLAND, CA, March 22, 2013 . . . The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) today released the Draft Plan Bay Area. Nearly three years in the making, Plan Bay Area is an integrated long-range transportation and land-use/housing plan that will support a growing economy, provide more housing and transportation choices, and reduce transportation-related pollution in the San Francisco Bay Area. The effort grew out of the California Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008 (California Senate Bill 375, Steinberg), which requires each of the state’s 18 metropolitan areas – including the Bay Area – to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars and light trucks.
For more information about MTC’s Draft Plan Bay Area, visit OneBayArea.org.
