SacRT Adds Supplemental Services to SacRT GO Paratransit Services

To ensure the best service possible for our customers, SacRT partnered with an Adaptive Transportation Network Company called UZURV to provide additional support for SacRT GO Paratransit Service customers. The partnership began on Tuesday, April 19, 2022.

UZURV independent contractor drivers will operate regular passenger vehicles to provide SacRT GO customers door-to-door service.  Vehicles are marked with a UZURV sticker decal on the front window and a SacRT GO magnet on the passenger side door.

SacRT Go Service

The only change to ADA paratransit service is that SacRT is operating the service directly, instead of contracting it to Paratransit Inc. (PI). SacRT’s ADA paratransit service team include many of the same drivers and reservationists that were employed by PI. Service levels will not change and fare will not increase.

SacRT’s focus is on working with our partners in the disability, elderly and transit communities to develop and operate an ADA paratransit service model that complements our accessible transit system and meets the mobility needs of all members of our community.


SacRT Go Fares

SacRT has improved the fares for paratransit service by adding free SacRT fixed route access with the purchase of a SacRT GO ADA 60-ride monthly pass for $137.50. In addition to being a better value for our customers, the 60-ride monthly pass is completely electronic and handled by SacRT utilizing our dispatching software, Ecolane. A Reservation Specialist will have access to verify a riders monthly pass and book ADA trips. They can also provide the remaining balance of trips for the month. Single ride paper tickets for SacRT GO service are also available for purchase. All single ride ADA and Non-ADA trips are $5.00 per trip.
