FAST Connect ADA is the paratransit complement to FAST local fixed routes.  FAST Connect ADA is a demand response origin-to-destination service that operates within ¾ of a mile of FAST fixed routes. FAST Connect ADA operates during the same days and hours as local fixed routes. 

FAST Connect ADA is reserved for qualifying persons with disabilities unable to board a FAST bus, access a FAST bus stop, or otherwise navigate the regular fixed route bus system due to a disability defined by the American with Disabilities Act (ADA).  This does not include disabilities that only make using accessible fixed route bus service complicated or inconvenient. 

Persons wishing to become ADA paratransit certified need to call the Solano Mobility Call Center at (707) 541-7184 for information and instructions on completing an in-person evaluation.  Once the applicant’s disability is evaluated, the applicant will receive a determination of eligibility within 21 calendar days.  Applicants who are ADA paratransit certified will be mailed a Solano County ADA Paratransit ID Card with an explanation of the FAST Connect ADA paratransit system and instructions on how to use it. Persons eligible to ride FAST Connect ADA are also eligible for the Intercity Taxi Program.

The Solano County Intercity Taxi Program is a flexible option for ambulatory ADA paratransit-certified riders.  This service provides premium ADA plus, curb-to-curb, same-day transportation for taxi trips between cities and rural areas of Solano County but is not valid for trips within each city.   Under this program, riders must be able to store their mobility devices in the taxi vehicle’s trunk.   The Intercity Taxi Program is in addition to paratransit services available by public transit providers throughout Solano County.  

Once ADA paratransit eligibility has been determined, fares for trips under the Intercity Taxi Program must be paid using an Intercity PEX Card.  This card is available by contacting the Solano Transportation Authority (STA) at (800) 535-6883.   

ADA-eligible paratransit passengers may load $100 on the PEX Card for $40.  Qualified riders may only load a maximum of $400 per month. ELIGIBLE ADA PARATRANSIT PASSENGERS MUST CONTACT STA TO LOAD FUNDS TO PEX CARD.  

ADA paratransit eligible passengers who qualify as low-income may load $100 to their PEX card for $20.  Cash payments are not accepted under the Intercity Taxi Program, and the PEX Card cannot be used for tipping drivers.
