C-TRAN’s paratransit service, referred to as C-VAN, is an origin to destination, shared ride service that provides service within specified boundaries in Clark County, WA. C-VAN is a reservation-based service for riders whose disability prevents them from riding our fixed-route bus system. Paratransit service is designed to mirror fixed-route and is equal to, not better than, the fixed-route system.
Paratransit is public transportation, so riders share their rides with others. C-VAN dispatchers work hard to group rides for efficiency, which is essential for meeting the demands of all riders for hundreds of trips scheduled every day.
Paratransit trips may be for any purpose, other than a medical emergency. Riders may use paratransit to go to work, school, visits to friends and family, shopping, church, appointments, and many other trip purposes. C-TRAN may not give one trip priority over another.
Application Process
C-TRAN does NOT base the determination of eligibility on symptoms, type of disability, use of a mobility aid, age, income, ability to drive, or access to a private automobile. We DO consider an applicant’s functional ability, and whether an applicant is unable to travel on C-TRAN’s fixed-route service, all or some of the time, due to the applicant’s disability, and the applicant’s effort and risk during travel on fixed-route. Disabled children age seven and under are not eligible for paratransit service.
You may be eligible if your disability prevents you from: getting to or from a fixed route bus stop, getting on or off a fixed-route bus, or have difficulty riding or navigating the fixed-route bus system.
