Eligibility |
Eligibility
is based on whether your disability prevents you from performing the tasks
needed to ride regular bus service some or all of the time.
You must apply and be found eligible ahead of time to use
this
program. Applicants will be asked to
have a certified physician complete a form describing the applicant’s
disability.
Persons
who have been found eligible may need to have their eligibility re-certified
periodically. Written notice of the
need for re-certification will be sent.
The
Humboldt Senior Resource Center and Arcata &
Mad River Transit also have a joint paratransit eligibility agreement
through the City of Eureka. Persons found eligible by those agencies are
eligible to use paratransit services.
The Eureka, Arcata, and McKinleyville Dial-a-Ride/Lift information is available in braille, large print, half- speed four-track cassette tape and computer disk. All materials may be requested on a check-out condition, by those applicants inquiring or applying for the Dial-a-Ride Services. For more information, call Humboldt Transit Authority Office at 707-443-0826, or send an e-mail to admin@hta.org.
Persons
with disabilities visiting Humboldt County from outside the county area should
contact the HTA office (see information above) in advance of arriving to
establish visitor status. Visitors
can receive paratransit service for 21 days out of any 365-day period.
Receiving service beyond 21
days requires an eligibility determination by Humboldt County.
