How to apply for VVTA Direct Access Paratransit (Victor Valley)

Who it's for

Direct Access is VVTA's federally mandated ADA complementary paratransit service for Victor Valley residents whose ADA-eligible disability prevents them from using VVTA fixed-route buses. Coverage includes Victorville, Hesperia, Oak Hills, Apple Valley, Adelanto, Barstow, Lucerne Valley, and Helendale/Silver Lakes. ADA certification is required before riding. Fares are zone-based: Zone 1 $2.50, Zone 2 $4.50, Zone 3 $6.00; certified Personal Care Attendants ride free and companions pay regular fares. After ADA certification, riders pick up their identification card at VVTA's Hesperia main office (17150 Smoke Tree St., Hesperia). Reservations can be made by phone or through the VVTA AccessLink app. Direct Access covers the Victor Valley only — the San Bernardino Valley is served by Omnitrans's OmniAccess and Big Bear/Rim of the World by Mountain Transit.

What you'll need

• Completed ADA paratransit application (initiate by phone or web form)
• Documentation supporting your ADA eligibility as completed during the certification process
• Government-issued photo ID (presented at the Hesperia office for ID card pickup)
