Pleasanton's Door-to-Door Paratransit Service Expands Monday through Friday Schedule

The City of Pleasanton’s Paratransit Service (PPS) door-to-door service will suspend Saturday service effective July 1, 2013 in an effort to reallocate resources to address peak ridership during the week. The Monday through Friday service operates from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and more rides will be scheduled to meet the peak demand hours of 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

The service, which is funded by the City of Pleasanton, along with Alameda County Measure B sales tax revenue and Metropolitan Transportation Commission community transit funds, offers door-to-door, shared ride service to Pleasanton and Sunol residents aged 70 years and older, and persons with disabilities who meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) eligibility requirements.

As part of the Tri-Valley mobility coordination, PPS staff is working with the operators of the WHEELS bus to assure that ADA eligible riders can access the WHEELS Dial-A-Ride service for their Saturday transportation needs.

In addition, the Pleasanton Senior Center has a team of volunteer Travel Ambassadors who can fully assist seniors about the nuances of transportation in and around Pleasanton. The ambassadors will actually go on site to a designated transportation option with seniors to visually show them how to access and use a bus, BART, or taxi.
