Section B: Professional Verification
Dear Healthcare Professional:
You are being asked to provide information regarding this individual’s disability. The individual is applying for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) paratransit eligibility. The law specifies that ADA paratransit eligibility is provided only to those individuals who (1) as a result of their disability, cannot board, ride or disembark from a regular fixed route bus or (2) have a specific impairment-related condition that prevents them from getting to or from a bus stop.
Please note: This is not intended as verification of the applicant’s disability or medical condition but to determine the effect of that disability or medical condition on the individual’s ability to independently use regular, fixed route bus service.
Greensboro’s regular fixed route bus service is accessible to people with disabilities. All fixed route buses operated by Greensboro Transit Agency (GTA) are equipped with lifts for people who use wheelchairs/scooters. All buses also have a “kneeling” feature that lowers the bus closer to the ground to help people who have difficulty climbing stairs. There is priority seating behind the bus driver for people with disabilities and seniors. Stops and major transfer points are announced at each stop.
Please return the completed form to the applicant, or you may fax it to 336-373-2809, Attention: Access GSO Eligibility Department.
