Accessibility & Eligibility

Paratransit/Reduced Fare Eligibility

There is no complementary paratransit for this service because it is a curb-to-curb, demand response service, not fixed route. All pf EATRAN’s buses are lift equipped and accessible to people with disabilities.

Seniors may present valid ID to receive reduced fare.

According to EATRAN’s website: “Persons with visible and/or certified disabilities are allowed to ride for ½ the regular fare rate on regular “in-county” EATRAN routes.  Persons without an obvious disability or handicap are required to submit certification of their disability from an agency, doctor or Social Security to EATRAN on the prescribed EATRAN form. EATRAN will then issue the qualified individual a handicapper identification card, which may be requested for identification by EATRAN employees to verify eligibility for ½ fare rate transportation.” The application for disability reduced fare certification can be found here. A medical professional’s certification is required.

Transit Service Accessibility

According to EATRAN’s website:

“Eaton County Transportation Authority (EATRAN) shall provide open-door, curb-to-curb public transportation in Eaton County for all persons desiring that service. (Curb-to-curb service means that riders are picked up at the curb and not in a private drive). EATRAN does, however, allow the use of private drives to accommodate individuals who are mobility impaired. Such private drives must be easily accessible (circular or turn-around capabilities) and must be well maintained, clear of snow and obstacle free. IN NO EVENT WILL THE EATRAN DRIVER ENTER THE HOME TO ASSIST PASSENGERS.  FAMILY MEMBERS AND/OR ASSISTANTS ARE EXPECTED TO ASSIST THE PASSENGER WITH SPECIAL NEEDS IN AND OUT OF THE HOME.”
