City asks older residents and people with disabilities to participate in a transportation survey

City staff is seeking input from older residents and people with disabilities to confirm that its transportation programs are meeting their needs. Please complete an online survey at www.AlamedaParatransit.com by Friday, November 5, 2021. If you would like a hard copy of the survey, please call 510-747-7513. Survey forms also are available on each Alameda Loop Shuttle bus.

The City provides the following affordable transportation options that target older Alameda residents who are older and with disabilities:

1. Free Alameda Loop Shuttle service: www.AlamedaLoopShuttle.com.
2. Free AC Transit bus passes for Mastick Senior Center members who meet the financial criteria.
3. A new program that provides subsidized curb-to-curb service through Transportation Network Companies like Lyft and Uber. Working with our current 2-1-1 provider, Eden I&R, curb-to-curb service will be provided within Alameda County for East Bay Paratransit members who meet the financial criteria.
4. Hop on the Bus takes small groups of Mastick Senior Center members interested in improving their transit skills on local AC Transit bus trips.
5. Transportation 101 courses at Mastick Senior Center provide information on various transportation options such as East Bay Paratransit, AC Transit Clipper Card, Free Alameda Loop Shuttle service, and more. Guest speakers have provided information on electric vehicles, obtaining and using a Clipper Card, and safe driving courses.

Survey forms, shuttle schedules, AC Transit Mastick Member Free Bus Pass information, and other transportation resources such as East Bay Paratransit and a mobility device breakdown service are available at www.AlamedaParatransit.com. Services are funded by Measures B and BB transportation sales tax dollars, administered by the Alameda County Transportation Commission.
