PSTA Access
If you can’t independently use our regular bus service or travel to bus stops because of a disability, PSTA Access is designed just for you. We offer pre-scheduled, shared rides with door-to-door service—just book by 5:00 PM the day before you need to travel. Our specially-trained drivers have the knowledge and experience to help passengers with all types of disabilities get safely and comfortably to their destinations. Whether it’s a doctor’s appointment, grocery shopping, or meeting friends, we’ve got your back!
Mobility on Demand (MOD)
Mobility-on-Demand (MOD) gives you unshared, curb-to-curb rides through partners like Uber, Lyft, United Taxi, and Wheelchair Transport Service—perfect for those “life happens” moments when you need to get somewhere quickly. Your first 30 rides each month are the same price as regular Access rides, with additional charges for extra rides or longer distances. Keep in mind that unlike our specially-trained Access drivers, most MOD drivers aren’t required to provide assistance to or from your door, so it’s something to consider when booking your ride.

- Tap to pay is here: You can now pay regular fares with your tap-enabled credit card, debit card, or digital wallet.
