Para Transit is a pre-scheduled bus service that provides curb-to-curb service for people who are unable to use an Everett Transit fixed route bus due to a medical condition or disablity.

To qualify for service you must meet one of the conditions established by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)* and have no other means of transportation. Everett residents age 65 and over are also eligible. An application is required;
processing can take up to 21 days. An application may be requested by calling 425-257-8801 or be downloaded by clicking on the link found near the bottom of this page.

You are eligible for all or some of your trips on Para Transit if you meet one of the following conditions:

  1. You are unable to get on, ride, or get off an accessible
     transit bus by yourself.

  2. You are unable to get on a transit bus because it does not
     have a lift. (All Everett Transit buses are equipped with
     a lift.)

  3. You are unable to travel to or from a bus stop or find
     your way around the transit system by yourself because of
     a physical or cognitive functional disability.

Everett Para Transit buses operate the same days and hours as Everett Transit fixed-route buses.

* Section 504 Compliance Handbook and ADA define “disability” as (1) a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities; (2) a record of such an impairment; or (3) being regarded as having such an impairment.  To fit within the first part of this definition, an individual must have (1) a physical or mental impairment; (2) that substantially limits; (3) one or more major life activities.

The guidance observes that the definition of “disability” under the ADA and Section 504 might differ from the definition of disability under other laws, such as the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act.
