If you have any questions about WRTA service for elders and people with disabilities, please feel free to attend the TPAG meetings. You can also help the Worcester Regional Transit Authority deal with issues that affect transportation for elders and people with disabilities by attending TPAG meetings. Trips may be provided in vans or in cabs. The fares are the same in any vehicle. As the bus service becomes more accessible, people with disabilities who are able to use the bus will no longer be eligible for ADA service.
People can become eligible regardless of their age.
To qualify, an individual must either be determined eligible through the Worcester Regional Transit Authority's application process, which includes having a medical professional's verification, or must provide proof of eligibility from another transit authority in Massachusetts or transit system elsewhere in the country. The RTA provides a service that bring elders shopping. This service is pre-scheduled by ZIP code for your convenience. Each area goes to an assigned store on a specified day. Additionally, some elder housing complexes are served on 2 days each week.
