Transit Plus is MCTS's ADA paratransit program for Milwaukee County riders who cannot use fixed-route buses, including many seniors with mobility limitations. It provides door-to-door transportation within the MCTS service area for riders who qualify.
More detail
For a senior who no longer drives but doesn't need or want to move to a community with built-in transportation, Transit Plus can be the difference between staying independently in their own Milwaukee County home and needing to rely entirely on family or paid transportation for every medical appointment or errand. Eligibility and scheduling requirements are specific to the program, so contact MCTS directly (ridemcts.com) to understand qualification and how far in advance rides need to be scheduled. Remember that Transit Plus is a Milwaukee County program specifically -- Waukesha, Ozaukee, and Washington county residents are outside MCTS's service area and need to check their own county's separate paratransit program instead.
