Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Priority Service

To comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Corona Dial-A-Ride provides priority service to ADA certified passengers over other passengers when providing Corona Dial-A-Ride service. When seating capacity or vehicle availability constrains Corona Dial-A-Ride from providing scheduled trips, priority will be given to ADA certified passengers. Corona Dial-A-Ride has a zero denial policy and will reschedule or bump senior, disabled and general public scheduled trips to accommodate scheduled trips for ADA certified passengers. A Reservation-taker will do their best to minimize impacts to scheduled trips when demand for Corona Dial-A-Ride service exceeds seating capacity or vehicle availability. If a scheduled trip is impacted, a Reservation-taker will contact you by 5:00 PM the day prior to your scheduled ride (regardless of when you scheduled the affected trip) to re-schedule your trip.

The Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) performs ADA certification services. To learn more about ADA certification, please call RTA at (951) 565-5000 (Monday-Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm), or visit RTA’s website here.
