AnchorRIDES is a shared ride service providing curb-to-curb trips in compliance with various funding sources, providing transportation service to people with disabilities that prevent them from using our fixed route system, senior citizens and other contracted trips. The Municipality and its contractor provide the service as part of the public transportation system.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) states that each public entity that operates a fixed route system such as People Mover will provide paratransit services to individuals whose disabilities prevent them from using the fixed route. Service must be comparable to the level of service provided to individuals without disabilities on the fixed route (People Mover) and operate within 3/4 mile on either side of a People Mover bus route.
Senior transportation is provided with funding and guidelines from The Older Americans Act. This provides that senior citizens age 60 and over will receive trips on a prioritized basis of trip purpose. The eligible trip purposes allow access to non-emergency health care, adult daycare, senior meal programs, pharmacies, and employment and volunteer sites.
The AnchorRIDES contractor is a transportation service provider to people eligible for the Medicaid Home and Community Based Waiver program. AnchorRIDES can be provided if transportation services are pre-authorized in a person's Plan of Care and submitted by the Care Coordinator.
