Accessibility & Eligibility
Paratransit/Reduced Fare Eligibility
This service does not have complementary paratransit because it is curb-to-curb, origin-to-destination service, not fixed route. Lift equipped vehicles are available to wheelchair or other mobility device users.
There is no application for reduced fare or eligibility information on website. Call ALTRAN at (906) 387-4845 for more information about how to qualify for reduced fare if you are a senior or have a disability.
Transit Service Accessibility
ALTRAN demand response services are curb-to-curb. ALTRAN’s current vehicle fleet consists of 17 vehicles. They include transit vans and heavy duty buses. Twelve buses have wheelchair lifts. Let dispatcher know if you need a lift equipped bus when you call to schedule your ride.
