Paratransit is a door-to-door transportation service for people who are unable to use other forms of public transportation (such as the regular bus or BART) because of a medical condition or disability.
The Hayward Paratransit Program is funded by Alameda County Measure B 1/2 Cent Sales Tax, administered by the Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority (ACTIA).
Paratransit providers:
- East Bay Paratransit (operated by AC Transit and BART) is the primary paratransit service for Alameda County residents. Call 510-287-5000 or 1-800-555-8085 for more information.
- The Hayward Paratransit Program complements and supplements the East Bay Paratransit service when it is unable to provide service. Priority is given to those who need pre-scheduled medical trips to and from the doctor or dentist, the pharmacy, dialysis and radiology treatments, and to therapy appointments.
- Hayward's Round-About Shuttle Service provides two fixed route services serving north and south Hayward neighborhoods making connections to various community services, activities, and other transit services (with a transfer point at Southland Mall). This service wheelchair accessible transportation is free to riders registered with the Hayward Paratransit Program.

- Be a resident of the City of Hayward, Castro Valley, San Lorenzo, or the unincorporated areas of San Leandro; and
- Be at least eighteen (18) years old; and
