San Francisco Paratransit is a van and taxi program for people unable to independently use public transit because of a disability or disabling health condition. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) contracts with a paratransit broker to manage this service. The paratransit broker contracts with van and taxi companies to provide transportation. To be eligible for paratransit, you must be unable to use Muni’s accessible buses, trains or streetcars some or all of the time without the assistance of another person. Guidelines for eligibility come from the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 as amended. Paratransit van and taxi services are provided 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Service is provided throughout San Francisco to Treasure Island and to the northernmost part of Daly City in San Mateo County in conjunction with Muni and BART service. The San Francisco Paratransit office is located at 68 12th Street, between Market Street and Mission Street. Accessible Muni lines include: the Muni Metro at Van Ness Station served by the J, K, L, M and N lines, the F Line, and nearby accessible bus routes 6, 9, 9L, 14, 14L, 47, 49, 71 and 71L. The office is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. The main phone number is 415.351.7000.
