Community paratransit services provide more flexible transportation options. Community Paratransit providers use smaller lift equipped vans and minibuses and may operate modified fixed route, curb to curb, door to door, or on an advance reservation basis. Services may also feed into existing mass transit bus stops, train or light rail stations. Although there are some paratransit services open to the general public, others have eligibility requirements and may be restricted to senior citizens, disabled residents, or social services clients. Many of the paratransit services in New Jersey are funded by NJ TRANSIT with grants from the U.S.Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration under Sections 5307, 5310, 5311, Job Access Reverse Commute; and with funds from New jersey's Casino Revenue fund under the Senior Citizens and Disabled Residents Transportation Assistance Program.
