Alliance for Community Transportation (ACT): Regional coordinated transportation program
COAST is committed to providing public transportation to all. We work hard to remove barriers to accessing our transit system. All of our full-time transit vehicles are fully accessible and ADA-compliant. All COAST staff are fully prepared to operate their equipment and extensive training is required for every bus operator.
In addition to our fixed-route service, we provide paratransit service for individuals whose disability may prevent them from making part or all of the trip using a fixed-route bus. We follow an application process for all individuals interested in the paratransit service to determine their eligibility. The application is available both in print and audible form. To get started, please contact COAST's ADA coordinators at 603-743-5777 EXT. 107, or TDD at 800-735-2964.
We encourage all persons to try the fixed-route services, as they are accessible and less expensive to ride.
