SCAT ACCESS ELIGIBILITY

ADA Eligibility

People with disabilities who are unable to use fixed-route bus service due to a functional mobility impairment must be certified by the Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC) prior to using SCAT ACCESS service.  Please contact the VCTC staff at 642-1591, ext. 114. for further details on the certification process or to obtain a copy of the application form.

Senior Eligibility

Anyone 65 years of age or older may use SCAT ACCESS service and no application or certification is required.  However the driver may request proof of age when boarding the vehicle.

Senior Nutrition Eligibility

People participating in the Senior Nutrition Lunch Site Program are eligible for free transportation to and from the lunch site closest to their residence.  If you need transportation to and from the lunch site, notify the Nutrition Coordinator at the lunch site nearest you.


SCAT ACCESS NOT FOR YOU?

If you are not eligible for SCAT ACCESS, or if you enjoy the convenience of regular fixed-route bus service, SCAT fixed-route bus service may be your choice for transportation.  SCAT provides bus service in Ojai, Oxnard, Port Hueneme, Ventura and the unincorporated areas of Ventura County between these cities.

People with disabilities and Seniors 65 years of age or older are eligible for discounted fares on the fixed-route service (with proof of age).  The cash fare is only 60¢ per trip.  SCAT also offers monthly passes and 10-ride, 20-ride and 30-ride tickets at a greater discount than paying cash.

All SCAT buses are equipped with a wheelchair lift or ramp, and a "kneeling" feature.  All buses can accommodate two wheelchairs at the same time.  For SCAT bus route and schedule information please contact the SCAT Customer Service Center at 487-4222 or 643-3158 (TDD 486-2304).
