How to apply for MARTY ADA Paratransit + SRA Community Coach (Martin County)
Martin County Public Transit (MARTY) ADA Paratransit + Senior Resource Association (SRA) Community Coach — SRA is designated as the Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) for Martin County under the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged
Who it's for
Martin County offers door-to-door paratransit through two paired pathways. MARTY ADA Paratransit is the ADA-mandated complementary service to the free MARTY fixed-route system, providing door-to-door rides for riders whose disability prevents independent use of fixed-route buses within 3/4 mile of MARTY corridors. Senior Resource Association (SRA) Community Coach extends door-to-door service through the Florida Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) program for low-income riders without ADA-qualifying disabilities — SRA is designated by the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged as the CTC for Martin County (and also Indian River County, where SRA also operates GoLine). Both pathways share a single intake through SRA in the Indian River / Martin coordinated system at 772-569-0760. MARTY paratransit fares are nominal (or fare-free in some funding categories). Apply by calling SRA at 772-569-0760 or contacting MARTY customer service at (772) 463-2860.
Martin paratransit eligibility has two paired pathways: MARTY ADA paratransit (disability-based, requires medical verification) and SRA Community Coach (Florida TD, income-based). The same SRA intake (772-569-0760) handles both — SRA is the CTC for Martin AND Indian River, providing integrated trip coordination across the two-county region. For riders who CAN use fixed-route, MARTY is universally FREE — paratransit should be reserved for those who genuinely need door-to-door service. Martin's structural advantage over peer counties: combining FREE fixed-route + door-to-door paratransit through SRA's regional coordination means effectively zero out-of-pocket transit costs for qualifying seniors.
