STA helps Solano’s older adults, people with disabilities, veterans get around county and beyond

Solano Mobility’s programs for older adults, people with disabilities, veterans and low-income individuals are a result of extensive community outreach and studies conducted over the past nearly 20 years by the Solano Transportation Authority to identify mobility challenges affecting this population in Solano County. These popular programs continue to assist our residents and enable them to keep their independence:

• The Solano Mobility Call Center –formed in 2014.

• Travel Training – over 3,000 trainings and presentations conducted.

• Countywide In-Person Americans with Disabilities Act Eligibility and Certification Program – over 9,000 certifications completed.

• Medical Trip Concierge Services Program – over 23,000 trips taken.

• Intercity Taxi Card Program using PEX – nearly 29,000 trips taken.

• Veterans Mobility Program – our newest program, with 65 rides taken.

Solano Mobility Call Center

STA’s Solano Mobility Call Center provides assistance and information about transportation options to get around Solano County and beyond. In addition to providing commuters and county employers with information on a variety of transit services and incentive programs, the call center provides seniors and people with disabilities with a range of mobility information.

Learn to Ride Transit on a Guided Tour using the Travel Training Program

Learn to ride transit on your own or with friends with the Travel Training Program. Solano Mobility’s Travel Training Program provides one-onone instruction and group training designed to teach people how to travel independently on fixed-route public transportation in their community. This free service teaches everything, from how to read a schedule, to how to pay for your travel.

Apply for the Americans with Disabilities Act Eligibility Program

The Americans with Disabilities Act Eligibility Program determines eligibility for anyone unable to use fixed-routes public transit service because of their disability. Eligibility allows access to curb-to-curb paratransit service throughout Solano County, as well as participation in the Solano Intercity Taxi Program. Paratransit and the Intercity Taxi Program are more affordable than private medical transportation.

Take advantage of the Medical Trip Concierge Services Program

For ambulatory seniors over 60 years old, the Medical Trip Concierge Services Program provides 20 reduced cost trips per month to medical and other essential appointments around Solano County, utilizing Uber and Lyft through GoGo Grandparent.

Discounted Taxi Fares for ADA Certified Residents

The Intercity Taxi Card Program allows ADA Certified residents to purchase fare at a discount. The fare is loaded onto a prepaid debit card (PEX) and used to pay for rides between all cities within Solano County. This program is for both ambulatory people and those who require wheelchair-accessible vehicles.

Mobility Programs Expanded to Include Veterans

The Veterans Mobility program, started in April 2022, offers veterans of any age access to medical facilities within Solano County, including Travis Air Force Base, as well as three specific locations in Contra Costa County, including the Martinez VA Clinic. This program also provides wheelchair-accessible vehicles if required.
