How to apply for Clarksville Transit System and The Lift Paratransit for Seniors and Riders with Disabilities (Montgomery County) in Tennessee

Clarksville Transit System (CTS), the City of Clarksville public transit provider, including The Lift / CTS MyRide paratransit.

Who it's for

Clarksville Transit System (CTS) runs fixed-route buses in Clarksville, the Montgomery County seat. Riders 65 and older ride free with a CTS photo ID. Riders with disabilities pay a half fare with a CTS photo ID or Medicare card, and can buy a half-price 31-day pass. The Lift and CTS MyRide provide paratransit for riders who cannot use the fixed-route bus. Call the CTS elderly and disabled line to get a photo ID or apply for paratransit.

Montgomery: the CTS senior free fare needs a CTS photo ID; the disabled half fare needs a CTS photo ID or Medicare card (the disabled 31-day pass also accepts a veterans service-connected ID). The Lift / MyRide paratransit requires an eligibility application. Confirm current fares.
