To fulfill this requirement, the City of McAllen operates Metro McAllen Paratransit (MMP), a reservationrequired, shared-ride public transportation service.  \nTransportation is origin-to-destination. Assistance between the door of the starting point or destination and the paratransit vehicle will be provided if requested, in advance if possible. To provide assistance, drivers may not leave their vehicles unattended for a lengthy period of time, nor lose sight of the vehicle. Assistance is always provided to help board and exit vehicles.  \nProvisions of ADA require that service “mirror” the standard Metro McAllen fixed route service in terms of areas and available times. Service will be provided only if both the starting point and the destination of a trip are located not more than ¾ of a mile from a Metro McAllen fixed route. Paratransit transportation is provided only during hours when the fixed routes are operating.  \nWho Qualifies for Paratransit?  \nParatransit service is designed to serve only those persons whose severity of disability prevents them from using public transportation. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), disability or age does not automatically qualify a person to ride Paratransit. A person must be functionally unable to use the fixed-route Metro McAllen service. A person simply being reluctant to use the fixed route because they think it is inconvenient is not a consideration in determining paratransit eligibility.  \nService is provided to the following three general groups of individuals with disabilities:  \n1. Individuals with mental or visual impairments who, as a result, cannot “navigate the system”, or people who cannot board, ride, or disembark from an accessible vehicle “without the assistance of another individual (other than the bus driver) .”  \n2. Individuals who need a wheelchair lift when a wheelchair lift-equipped bus is not available on the fixed route th","cbCainQSq7EgMWTK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainQSq7EgMWTK","pdf",338123,"English","# Application for Paratransit Service\n## What is Paratransit?\n## Who Qualifies for Paratransit?\n## Part I: General Information\n## Part II: Information About the Applicant's Disability","[{\"question\":\"What is Paratransit and who provides it for Metro McAllen?\",\"answer\":\"Paratransit is comparable transportation required by the ADA for people who cannot use fixed-route systems.
