How to Qualify

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Program

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Program is transportation that is provided within 3/4 of a mile of a Palm Tran bus route during the same hours and days as Palm Tran fixed-route bus service. To become eligible for ADA service, an individual must have a disability which prevents them from riding the fixed-route bus. An individual must first complete an ADA application to be eligible for service.

The fare is $3.50 per one-way trip.

How to Qualify for Connection services

The Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) Program

The Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) Program is sponsored by the State of Florida Transportation Disadvantaged Trust Fund. Service is provided anywhere in Palm Beach County during the same hours and days as Palm Tran fixed-route bus service. To become eligible for TD service, the applicant must submit proof of income, or a physician completed medical verification form and their completed application. Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) Eligible customers who may qualify for a discounted Transportation Disadvantaged include those persons who because of physical or mental disability, income status, or age are unable to transport themselves or to purchase transportation and are, therefore, dependent upon others to obtain access to health care, employment, education, shopping, social activities, or other life-sustaining activities, or children who are handicapped or high-risk or at risk as defined in s. 411.202.

If you have any questions, you may also contact the office at 561-649-9838, option #7.

TD trips will require a $3.50 per one-way trip fare for all trips. There will be no exceptions. Customers are expected to pay their fare upon boarding. Failure to have your fare ready may result in the rescheduling of your transportation.
