Santa Fe Ride ADA Complementary Paratransit Service serves the needs of customers who, because of a disability, are unable to use the Santa Fe Trails fixed-route system, and who meet the definition of "ADA paratransit eligible," as established by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990.
The Santa Fe Ride Program is not a taxi service, it’s a shared ride program. Please note you will be in the vehicle with other riders and may be in a vehicle up to 45 minutes.
ADA Complementary Paratransit Service is comparable to the level of service provided to individuals without disabilities who use the fixed bus system.
Disability alone does not establish ADA paratransit service eligibility; the decision is based solely on the applicant’s functional ability to use the Santa Fe Trails fixed-route transit service. Santa Fe Ride is for those who do not have the functional abilities to access and ride the regular fixed-bus transit service.
Santa Fe Ride also provides transportation to adults 60 years of age and older, who are City of Santa Fe residents and reside in the city limits, to qualify residents must complete an application and receive a Santa Fe Ride picture id. A premium fare of $5.00 per trip is charged for seniors.
All ADA and Senior veterans ride for free, to qualify proof of veteran status with either an official Department of Veterans Affairs ID card, DD214 along with a photo ID or driver’s License with Veteran status must be brought into our office.
Santa Fe Ride is an "origin to destination" service, and curb-to-curb transportation is the primary means by which service will be provided.
