Aspen - ADA Complementary Paratransit Application Form

Attached are forms used to establish eligibility for RFTA’s ADA transit services. Please complete and

return to RFTA the form titled, “Paratransit Eligibility,” and have your physician complete and return

the form titled, “Medical Certification.” In addition to being a federal reporting requirement, these

forms help RFTA to document the nature of the disabilities for which we provide paratransit services.

Also, following is a brief summary of the policies for ADA services:

• Paratransit service is for those who cannot get on, get off, or otherwise navigate the existing

system.

• All paratransit trips should be booked at least the day before by calling 925-4482. More

advance notice is helpful.

• Due to driver scheduling it is less costly for RFTA to offer paratransit services on certain days

or at certain times of the day. Although you are not required to do so, it is appreciated if

you can be somewhat flexible.

• Service is offered during the same hours as RFTA’s city routes (6:30 a.m.-2:30 a.m.).

• Paratransit service is offered for trips within the city limits of Aspen or to/from Aspen and

the airport. All buses in RFTA’s fleet are lift-equipped and these can be used for intercity

transportation. You can call 925-4482 for more information regarding RFTA’s regional

commuter bus services.

• Trip pick-up must be made by RFTA within 15 minutes before or after the requested time.

Any deviation from this policy by RFTA should be reported to RFTA administration at 920-

1905. Missed pick-up times by paratransit users could result in suspension of service, as

provided for in ADA regulations.
