SPOKANE, Wash. - Spokane Transit has opened a new Mobility Center on the second floor of The
Plaza located at 701 W. Riverside in downtown Spokane.
The
Mobility Center provides a central location for assessing customer eligibility
for STA's Paratransit service, including facilities for in-person interviews and
assessments and for the Mobility Training program.
Paratransit is
a door-to-door public transportation service provided by STA for people who are
disabled, and, who because of the effects of their disabilities, are not able to
ride the regular bus some or all of the time and live within the Paratransit
service area.
Paratransit eligibility is determined through an application and
assessment process. Physical and cognitive assessments will now take place at
the new Mobility Center.
Through
one-on-one or group training, Spokane Transit's Mobility Trainers help seniors
and persons with disabilities gain more independence by assisting them to learn
how to ride the regular, fixed route bus.
Spokane Transit contracts with
Paratransit Inc. to provide the service. For further information regarding the
program, please call 509-232-6303.
