What Is Paratransit Mobility?

Paratransit mobility is a critical service for individuals who cannot use standard public transit due to disabilities or age-related challenges. Designed to offer personalized, accessible transportation, paratransit helps people stay active, independent, and connected to their communities.

Via Mobility Services, based in Colorado, provides paratransit solutions that are safe, reliable, and supportive—helping riders access everything from medical appointments to social outings.

What Makes Paratransit’s useful?

Unlike fixed-route public transit systems, paratransit is a door-to-door or door-through-door service tailored for individuals who need extra assistance. Whether someone uses a wheelchair, walker, or has limited mobility, paratransit ensures they get the transportation support they need—safely and comfortably.

Who Is Paratransit Mobility For?

Paratransit services are designed for:

  • Seniors
  • People with physical or cognitive disabilities
  • Individuals recovering from surgery or illness
  • Anyone unable to use standard transit options safely

Via Mobility Services assesses each rider’s eligibility to ensure they receive the appropriate level of support.

How Via Mobility Services Supports Colorado Communities

Via’s paratransit program operates across multiple counties in Colorado, including Boulder, Denver, and Longmont. Their trained drivers provide not just transportation, but personalized care—helping riders get from their door to the vehicle and to their destination safely.

Via Mobility Services also offers additional services such as:

  • Travel Training – helping new riders learn how to use accessible transit
  • Mobility Options Counseling – offering guidance on the best transportation choices
  • Volunteer Driver Programs – connecting riders with community support

Why Paratransit Matters

Accessible transportation is more than just getting from point A to B. For many, it’s the key to maintaining independence, staying socially active, and accessing essential services like healthcare and groceries. Via Mobility Services understands this—and puts care and dignity at the center of every ride.
