ADA Paratransit Cost

"Since CTS is fareless, will my BAT Lift rides be fareless, too?"  The answer to that question is ...Yes. BAT Lift rides are currently fareless.

BAT Lift is the contractor for several different programs but at least two of those programs overlap:

    The City's ADA Paratransit Service program, and
    The Benton County Special Transportation Fund (STF) program.

(NOTE:  While enrollment in the City's program automatically qualifies the rider for the County's program, the reverse is not true.  Since the qualification process is different, enrollment in the Benton County STF program does NOT automatically entitle the rider to fareless City ADA paratransit service.)

Three Qualifications for an ADA Paratransit Ride

1. You must be certified by the City of Corvallis as a ADA Paratransit rider. (This means submitting a completed ADA Paratransit Application to Corvallis, waiting for approval, and repeating the certification process every 3 years.)

    ~~ AND ~~

2. The ride you are requesting must begin and end during the days & hours that CTS buses operate:

3. The ride must begin and end within ¾ of a mile of a CTS bus route.
