Paratransit is a shared-ride, door-to-door, or curb-to-curb transportation (provided in vans and/or taxicabs) provided to people with disabilities who are unable, or have limited ability because of their disability, to use fixed-route buses or trains. All public transit agencies providing fixed-route bus and rail service are required by the ADA to provide this service.

In the City of Mesa, RideChoice provides taxi service to those certified as ADA Paratransit eligible at a deeply discounted rate. Service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and you can choose your own taxi provider. There is no requirement to book your trip in advance, and you do not have to share your ride. The amount and cost of service varies by community of residence, but in most cases, shorter trips cost less than or equal to a comparable ADA Paratransit trip
