Paratransit Services

The County of Nevada Transit Services administers an origin-to-destination/door-to-door paratransit service for persons with disabilities who, due to a mental or physical disability, are unable to use the fixed route bus system, as mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The service area includes Grass Valley, Nevada City, Penn Valley, Lake Wildwood, and other local areas. The paratransit service is provided by the Gold Country LIFT. In order to become eligible for paratransit service, a passenger must complete an ADA application form and be certified as eligible. Forms are available through Gold Country Stage (530) 477-0103, or toll-free (888) 660-7433 or online at www.goldcountrystage.com and through Gold Country LIFT at (530) 271-RIDE (7433) or toll-free (855) 314-RIDE (7433), or www.goldcountrylift.com. 

Reservations for paratransit trips must be made the day before the requested ride or up to several days in advance. There is no same day service. Reservations are made by calling Gold Country LIFT at (530) 271-RIDE (7433) or toll free at (855) 314-RIDE (7433). You will be asked to make a reservation for the return trip at the same time you make your original reservation. Please contact Gold Country LIFT for current fares and general information.
