ADA paratransit service card rules

A. Each certified ADA eligible individual shall be issued an ADA paratransit service card without charge, specifically endorsed for the ADA paratransit service by the department or its designated representative. The ADA paratransit service card shall be shown to the driver when so requested. B. An ADA paratransit service card shall be effective up to four years from the applicant's last birthday. The ADA paratransit service card may be renewed prior to expiration provided the person requesting renewal demonstrates at each renewal date that the person's medical or physical condition warrants continued status as an ADA eligible individual. C. An ADA paratransit service card may be issued to a person with a disability that is not expected to remain for two years, as determined by the applicant's certifying health care professional. The card shall be effective for an appropriate period equal to the expected duration of the person's disability. Should a person's disability continue beyond one year, the person shall reapply for an ADA paratransit service card. D. ADA paratransit service cards may be recalled at the discretion of the director or the director's designee for recertification or statistical purposes. The director or the director's designee may extend the effective date of a card when the card is recalled for recertification or statistical purposes to reduce large fluctuations in card renewals in future years. Cards issued after a recall may have physical characteristics different from those issued before the recall. ( Ord. No. 4940 , § 7, 2018; Ord. No. 3628, § 1, 2009)
