NVTA is committed to 100% accessibility for all of its services.
What ADA Eligibility Means for Persons with Disabilities in Napa County.
The ADA law was created to assure that all persons with disabilities, who cannot use the regular fixed route bus, have complementary transportation to a bus system. This means that a person who cannot use the regular bus should be able to travel on the same days, during the same hours, and in the same general area as the bus travels, for a fare, which is not more than twice what the bus would charge an adult passenger. The Vine Go Paratransit Service is designed to meet these requirements.
This special type of transportation service is limited to persons who are unable to independently use regular public transit, some or all the time, due to a disability or a health related condition.
NVTA has always been committed to ensuring that everyone is able to ride our transit services. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) gives people with disabilities broader rights and protections, including access to public transportation. In accordance with the ADA, the NVTA has taken specific steps to offer services for people with disabilities.
