The County of Orange by and through its Department of Planning and Development seeks a qualified, experienced provider of American with Disabilities Act (ADA) complementary paratransit services in and around the Cities of Newburgh and Middletown and in and around the Town of Monroe (“ADA Paratransit Service”). ADA Paratransit Service is a comparable transit service required by the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act and related regulations, which requires "...each public entity operating a fixed-route system … [to also] provide paratransit or other special service to individuals with disabilities that is comparable to the level of service provided to individuals without disabilities who use the fixed route system." ADA Paratransit Service is available to all paratransit-eligible riders approved to use the service whose trips have an origin and a destination within three-quarters of a mile on either side of the fixed local routes operated in those areas. ADA Paratransit Service is on-demand and requires reservations, scheduling, and dispatching.
