Cómo solicitar Citrus County Transit — TD Paratransit + Deviated Fixed-Route en Florida
Citrus County Transit — a division of the Citrus County Community Services Department; coordinated with the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD); contracts with local partners for OAA Title III-B trips
Para quién es
Citrus County Transit operates the county's public transportation through the Citrus County Community Services Department, providing both shared-ride door-to-door TD Paratransit and deviated fixed-route service. The Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) Paratransit program serves clients who are unable to use regular public transit due to age (60+), physical or mental disability, or low-income status. Riders 60 and over ride the Orange Line (deviated fixed route) free, and a TD application brings the door-to-door one-way fare from $5.00 to $3.00. Paratransit operates from approximately 6:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Reservations are accepted up to 14 calendar days in advance, with a deadline of 12:00 p.m. noon two business days prior to the trip. Service connects Citrus County's major communities — Inverness, Crystal River, Lecanto, Homosassa, Beverly Hills, and Hernando — and provides medical-purpose trips to regional healthcare facilities. Citrus County has a particularly heavy retirement population (top-10 senior-density nationally at ~33% age 65+), making the TD paratransit operationally critical for the rural retired population that doesn't drive. Apply through Citrus County Transit; phone (352) 527-7630 weekdays. Reservations cancellable up to 1 hour before pickup; after-hours voicemail cancellation accepted between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.
Citrus County Transit's TD Paratransit pathway uses the Florida statewide TD eligibility framework — age 60+ OR documented disability OR low-income status (any one of three pathways qualifies). The 14-day advance reservation window is more flexible than many peer counties (Sumter's 3-day, others' 2-day), but the noon-2-business-days-before deadline is still a planning constraint. Service operates 6 a.m. – 6 p.m. Monday-Friday with no weekend service. Citrus County's senior population density (~33% age 65+, top-10 nationally) means TD demand is high; book early. NOT TYPICALLY MODELED HERE: most peer FL county transit records include cross-county medical trips. Citrus County Transit's cross-county trip practice is not as prominently documented as Lake's (Orlando + Gainesville) or Sumter's (Villages + Leesburg) — riders should call to confirm cross-county medical destinations.
