ADA Paratransit Eligibility
The Stanislaus Eligibility Center, operated by MOVE, provides one simplified eligibility process for ADA paratransit services in Stanislaus County. Paratransit is a safety net for people whose disabilities prevent them from using accessible fixed-route public transportation.
ADA Paratransit Eligibility
To be eligible for ADA paratransit services in Stanislaus County you must participate in an in-person interview at one of the three Stanislaus Eligibility Center locations.
Why In-Person Eligibility?
All interviews & renewals will be done in person at one of our 3 convenient locations in Modesto, Turlock, and Patterson.
Eligibility Center staff will assist you during your interview process. You will have the chance to explain your circumstances in your own words. Family, friends, and caregivers are also able to participate in the interview process. In-person conversations help us better understand your needs.
Am I eligible?
The eligibility process is not a medical determination of disability. It is a determination about your functional ability to ride public transportation according to ADA guidelines.

- Call to schedule an appointment at one of the three Stanislaus Eligibility Center locations.
- Free transportation will be arranged to and from the Eligibility Center for you and one other person.
- During the interview your specific transit use skills, abilities, and/or limitations will be identified and discussed.
- Your determination will be mailed within 21 days of completion of the application.
How do I renew my eligibility before it expires?
The Stanislaus Eligibility Center will mail a postcard to your address on file requesting you to call and schedule an appointment prior to your eligibility expiring.
