ACCESS PASS

In accordance with the FTA and EOTC guidelines, the Authority recognizes that some individuals are disabled but still able to use fixed route services. These persons must use regular buses but may receive reduced fares on this service. The Authority's current Disabled fare on fixed routes is $.50 per zone.

To obtain this reduced fare the rider must present one of the following forms of Identification: a valid Massachusetts Statewide Access Pass (issued by either SRTA or any other Regional Transit Authority in Massachusetts or the MBTA); Medicare Card from Social Security along with a photo ID; a valid ADA picture ID from any public transit agency in the United States or a Mass Commission for the Blind ID.

SRTA DEMAND RESPONSE

The Demand Response Service is a curb-to-curb service for those individuals who are unable to use the regular buses that operate on a fixed route and time schedule. It is a comparable service to the Authority's fixed route service. If a person can use a regular bus they do not meet the requirements for this service. They must use regular buses, but may apply for a reduced rate on these buses. (Distance from a fixed route bus route does not make one eligible for demand response service).
