Senior citizens 65 or older and persons with disabilities can receive a fixed route reduced-fare 31 Day pass for $22.50 or pay 60 cents for one-way travel on a fixed route bus. The 31 Day fixed route reduced-fare bus passes can be purchased at various locations in the East Valley.

Maricopa County Special Transportation Service (STS)

Toll Free: 1-866-550-2211
STS provides door-to-door transportation to elderly, disabled and low-income Maricopa County residents. For more information go online at www.hsd.maricopa.gov/sts.

Or for reservations call (602) 372-4280 Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Trip reservations are required at least two business days in advance and no earlier than 14 days in advance.

Coupons for Cabs
(480) 962-7433
This program is for Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa and Tempe residents 65 or over and persons with disabilities who possess a current disability certification. Under this program, participants request coupon booklets at a nominal co-pay of $2.50 for one book, valued at $10. The coupons can then be applied toward the fares of participating taxi companies.

Mileage Reimbursement (Mesa only)
(480) 962-7433
Qualifying Mesa residents receive a 44 cents per mile reimbursement for car trips when a non-residing friend or family member drives them. The passenger chooses their own driver—East Valley RIDEChoice does not assign drivers. Reimbursements are made directly to approved East Valley RIDEChoice passengers, who are then required to pass along the reimbursement to their volunteer drivers. The Mileage Reimbursement Program is for senior citizens 65 or over and persons with disabilities who possess a current disability certification. Reimbursement is available up to 300 miles per month.

East Valley Dial-a-Ride
(480) 633-0101
Dial-a-Ride service is available through East Valley Dial-a-Ride for persons with disabilities or senior citizens aged 65 or over.
