How to apply for B-Line Paratransit

Butte Regional Transit (B-Line)

Who it's for

Butte Regional Transit (B-Line) ADA complementary paratransit serves riders who, because of a disability, cannot use the regular fixed-route bus. Eligibility is established through an application and (often) an in-person functional assessment administered by the transit agency. Seniors age 65+ who meet the ADA functional standard qualify. Service area mirrors the B-Line fixed routes (Chico, Oroville, Paradise/Magalia, Gridley, and the connecting corridors). To apply or request an application packet, call 1-530-342-0221.

ADA paratransit eligibility is a functional determination made by Butte Regional Transit (B-Line) through an application and assessment — the scan cannot make this determination for you. Age alone does not guarantee eligibility; the standard is whether a disability prevents use of the fixed-route bus. Apply directly with the agency.

What you'll need

  • Completed ADA paratransit application (often with a healthcare-provider verification of functional limitation)
  • Possibly an in-person functional assessment scheduled by the transit agency
