Look What I Found !!!

 

While looking for pictures of a Paratransit Van & a Regional Transit Bus, I found this !

I had no idea it existed !

 

Regional Transit’s Neighborhood Ride Shuttle Service:

· The Neighborhood Ride shuttles are smaller buses (approximately 35 feet or less in length) that offer residents greater mobility and new transit options on local intra-community trips.

· The Neighborhood Ride shuttles have regular, pre-designated, pre-scheduled routes, but offer special curb-to-curb service (not to be confused with ADA/paratransit door-to-door service). The shuttles are able to "deviate" travel off route up to ¾ of a mile to pick up and drop off seniors age 62 and older, and disabled passengers who have a valid ADA/paratransit pass.

· Reservations must be made at least one day in advance. To request a route deviation on The Neighborhood Ride, please call the NEW Phone # (916) 556-0250.  The reservation line is open Sunday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

· Passengers pay only $1.00 per trip (50 cents for passengers paying a discount fare). RT monthly passes, daily passes and transfers are also accepted. Passengers with valid ADA/paratransit passes ride free.

· All passengers (except for Lifetime Pass holders), including those with valid ADA/paratransit passes, must pay an additional $1.00 for a route deviation.

· Marked bus stops are located along the route, and printed schedules are available at several locations around Sacramento and on Regional Transit’s Web site.

· Each shuttle can transport 12-17 passengers and up to two wheelchairs.
