ADA/Paratransit

The Gastonia Transit ADA Paratransit Service operates curb-to-curb van service for our passengers who cannot utilize the fixed route bus system due to a physical or mental disability. Service must be scheduled no later than one (1) day prior to the service date but may be scheduled up to fourteen (14) days in advance. Trips may be scheduled for any reason and are scheduled on a first-come first served basis. The ADA Paratransit Service only operates within the City limits of Gastonia. Personal Care Attendants (PCA) who assist passengers on trips are supplied by the family or agency of the passenger and are NOT supplied by Gastonia Transit. At times our vans carry multiple passengers from different locations therefore the drivers are not able to provide personal care to passengers.
