The Consolidated Transportation Services Agency of Placer County (CTSA)
is the designated provider of elderly and disabled transit
services in Placer County.
CTSA also coordinates
the I-Ride and Voucher Transportation Programs and subsidizes
a volunteer transportation program for seniors. Below is a description of each:
- I-Ride
Program (530) 888-7433 – provides trips to passengers for various purposes and charges
are based on the distance of the trip. Rates are typically much
higher than fixed-route public transit and other Dial-A-Ride
services, although lower than a taxi service.
- Voucher
Program (530) 888-7433 – provides a voucher to those
who cannot otherwise afford to pay for the cost associated with an
occasional, necessary trip to medical appointments, job interviews,
court appearance, etc. Social service agencies or other
organizations can obtain a voucher for their clients through CTSA,
who evaluates the request and searches for the best transportation
for the passenger.
