Door-to-door RTA Paratransit for riders with disabilities, and free senior van service in Cleveland Heights for medical trips, groceries and errands.

Information last reviewed July 2026

RTA Paratransit

Door-to-door service for people who can’t travel on regular public transit — because of a disability, the need for a wheelchair lift not available at your stop, or a condition that prevents public-transit travel. You must submit an application to participate in RTA’s disability program; call 216-621-9500 for information or to request one.

Cleveland Heights senior van

The Cleveland Heights Office on Aging provides van transportation for residents 60 and over who aren’t Paratransit-eligible — from home to medical appointments, grocery stores, pharmacies, banks and the senior center, within service boundaries. The service is free (donations suggested).

How Gesher helps

The Paratransit application asks medical questions that are easy to answer wrong in ways that get people denied. We’ll help you complete it accurately, gather physician documentation, and appeal if needed.
