Short Summary

Who it may help
You may qualify for Access-A-Ride if:
You have a disability that prevents you from using buses or subways for some or all of your trips.
Your needs match ADA requirements. You'll be asked about your ability to:
- Go up or down subway stairs
- Travel to a bus or subway station
- Get on, ride, and exit a bus or subway
- Navigate the bus or subway system on your own
You're temporarily unable to use public transit. This includes recovering from surgery, managing a long-term condition, or looking for paratransit services while visiting NYC.
What you may need
You will need medical documents that prove your transportation-related disability.
