Transportation Resource Guide for Northwestern CT

The Western CT Area Agency on Aging, Inc. and the Connecticut Community Foundation created this Transportation Resource Guide. The Kennedy Center, Inc.’s Northwest Regional Mobility Manager maintains it.

The Western CT Area Agency (WCAAA): Develops, manages and provides comprehensive services through person centered planning for seniors, caregivers and individuals with disabilities in order to maintain their independence and quality of life. Some services may be funded through Older Americans Act, State of CT, private or local funds in the form of grants or contracts. Some services are arranged directly by the WCAAA through contracts on behalf of seniors who have agreed to specific service needs. Most notable is the WCAAA’s CHOICES Program whose trained and certified staff and volunteers provide assistance to western area residents in Medicare, Medicaid and other benefits’ issues. The WCAAA is also a designated “Access Agency” to operate the CT Home Care Program for Elders in the City of Waterbury and Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Program in the larger Central Naugatuck Valley area.

The Connecticut Community Foundation: Established in 1923, Connecticut Community Foundation was created by and for the people of Greater Waterbury and the Litchfield Hills. While serving this 21- town region, the Foundation provides leadership in addressing the community’s critical issues, strengthens local nonprofit organizations through grants and technical assistance programs, and works to steward charitable and scholarship funds. The foundation’s Pathways for Older Adults initiative focuses on keeping people healthy, engaged and informed as they age. We believe that raising awareness of transportation resources and collaborating to address transportation gaps are keys to helping the residents of all of our communities to live and age well.

The Kennedy Center: The Kennedy Center is a private, community-based rehabilitation organization, who actively responds to needs of persons with disabilities by offering innovative, comprehensive community services to persons with disabilities and special needs, from birth to senior years in the state of Connecticut. The organization promotes the empowerment of consumers with diverse abilities, disabilities, and experiences toward optimal participation and inclusion in the communities.

Travel Training: The Kennedy Center’s Travel Training is a nationally acclaimed program that teaches individuals with disabilities and seniors how to properly and safely use the local bus and rail system on a one-to-one basis throughout the state of Connecticut. Since 1991, The Kennedy Center has successfully travel trained more than 4,000 people with disabilities, aged 16-95, to use local buses and trains to access the community. This service is free of charge, as the program is grant funded by The Connecticut Department of Transportation.

Mobility Management Program: A Kennedy Center project, funded through the Connecticut Department of Transportation and New Freedom’s 5310 grant, which aims to coordinate all transportation options for people with disabilities, seniors and veterans throughout Connecticut. The program also identifies gaps in service, designs effective solutions to transportation challenges by collaborating and advocating with the transportations districts, funding sources and other transportation vendors, and serves as a form of advocacy by helping implement new services where they are most needed.

Types of Transportation Services

Fixed Route Transit: A standard bus service operating on a fixed route and schedule, often referred to as the “City Bus”. Pay your fare and you ride. Exact change is often needed. Reduced fares are often available for seniors or persons with a disability. All CT buses are accessible for people with disabilities. Fixed route transit in Northwest CT includes: Northeast Transportation Company, Greater Waterbury Transit District, Northwest CT Transit District, HARTransit, Valley Transit District and CT Transit.

ADA Paratransit: A bus service for people with disabilities, of any age. Paratransit increases regular routes options with shorter busses. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires transit agencies to provide paratransit services to people with disabilities who are PREVENTED from using fixed route bus or rail service. Paratransit service typically runs within 3/4 of a mile of a fixed bus route or rail station, during the same hours and days, for no more than twice the regular fixed route fare. Paratransit rides are provided to all eligible riders if requested any time the previous day, within an hour of the requested time. Personal care attendants for riders with disabilities ride for free when announced at time of scheduling. COMPANIONS do not ride free. Please be sure to watch your terminology when scheduling. It makes a difference. To apply go to https://ctada.com/ctada_form.asp, call your local transit district, or The Kennedy Center at (203) 365-8522.

Dial-a-Ride Service: Offered to seniors, usually age 60+, and to people with disabilities. Once qualified and registered for the program, a reservation may be made by calling the dispatcher in advance. A vehicle is sent to his or her home and rider is driven to their destination and returned home at a set time. Some services limit destinations to medical and dental offices, others may give rides to Senior Centers or shopping centers or other destinations within the service area. There may or may not be a charge, depending on the provider. To use the service you must register with your local provider and prove age or disability.

Medical Transportation Programs: Variations on the Dial-a-Ride theme. They typically offer non- emergency transportation, for a patient and a caregiver or family member who accompanies the patient.

Home Care and Chore Services Providers: Some agencies will provide companion assisted transportation for their clients. Please contact your local provider for information on availability and payment assistance.
