Identification of Entity
Name: City of Round Rock
Address: 2008 Enterprise Drive
Round Rock, Texas 78664
Contact: Caren Lee, Transit Coordinator
Phone: 512-671-2869
Fax: 512-218-5536
Mission
The mission of City of Round Rock Transit is to provide quality and efficient paratransit service to
passengers while complying with the Americans Disabilities Act(ADA).
Background
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) requires public entities who operate non-commuter
fixed route transportation services must also provide complementary paratransit service. The ADA
requires the complementary paratransit service be comparable to the fixed route service, in terms of
service levels and availability. There are six minimum service standards used to evaluate the
comparability of the complementary paratransit service to the fixed route service.
1. Availability in the same area served by the fixed route. Specifically, service must be made
available to all origins and destinations within a minimum width of 3/4 of a mile on each side
of each fixed route. This includes an area within 3/4 miles radius at the end of each fixed route
as well;
2. Available to any ADA Paratransit eligible persons at any requested time on anyparticular
day in response to a request for service made the previous day;
3. Paratransit Service's fares that are no more than twice the fare that would be charged to an
individual paying full fare for a trip of similar length, at a similar time of day on the fixed
route system;
4. There can be no trip restrictions or priorities based on trip purpose;
5. Service must be made available to eligible persons on a next day basis;and
6. There can be no constraints on the amount of service that is provided to any eligible person.
Specifically,there can be no operating practice that significantly limits the availability of
service to individuals.
Transit providers subject to the ADA regulations must develop and administer a process for determining
a person's eligibility for the complementary paratransit service. ADA Paratransit service must be
provided to all individuals who are unable, because of their disability,to use the fixed route system,
some of the time or all of the time. The criteria for determining a persons' eligibility is regulated by the
ADA and it requires the City to have a documented process.
3
Nondiscrimination
The City of Round Rock shall not discriminate against an individual with a disability in connection with
the provision of transportation service. The City shall not deny, to any individual with a disability,the
opportunity to use the City's transportation service for the general public, if the individual is capable of
using the service. The City shall not require an individual, with a disability, to use designated priority
seats, if the individual does not choose to use those seats.
Filing an ADA Complaint
Any person who believes they have been discriminated against on the grounds of disability may file a
complaint directly with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) or with the City. Complaints should
be filed within 180 days of the alleged violation.

the alleged discrimination occurred and any other pertinent factors.
Within 30 days of the receipt of the complaint, the Transit Coordinator will send the complainant and
FTA a letter of finding. The letter of finding will outline the results of the investigation. If the
4
investigation determines the City is not in violation, the letter of finding will include an explanation and
provide notification of the complainant's appeal rights. If the investigation determines the City is in
violation,the letter of finding will document the violation and the action the City will take or has taken
to resolve the violation.
Description of Fixed Route System
The City of Round Rock's (City) Transit System consists of two local fixed routes. The service operates
Monday—Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., with hourly headways. Each of the fixed routes serve the
Intermodal Transit& Parking Facility (ITPF). Maps of the two fixed routes are included in Attachment
B. Route 50, RR/Howard, operates in a north and south pattern on the east side of IH-35; it begins at the
higher education center, runs through town, and ends at Capital Metro's Howard Lane MetroRail
Station. Route 51, RR Circulator, operates in an east and west pattern serving the medical complexes on
RM 620 and the Dell/Walmart/Target area; it begins and ends at the ITPF.
Each route will be operated with two vehicles, for a total of four vehicles. As required by the ADA all
routes and vehicles are accessible by persons with disabilities. Maintenance of accessible features on
vehicles, as required by the ADA is maintained to a high level, so persons needing these features receive
equivalent service. If for some reason the lift or other accessible features, is not working, another
accessible feature equipped vehicle will be provided within 30 minutes. Bus operators will also make
major stop announcements.
Eligibility Requirements and Application Process
The following individuals are ADA paratransit eligible:
1. any individual with a disability who is unable to ride or disembark from any fixed route vehicle,
OR
2. any individual whose specific disability makes it impossible for them to travel independently all
or some of the time on a fixed route
An individual interested in riding City of Round Rock's paratransit service will submit a completed
application to the Transit Coordinator at:
Transportation Department
Attn: Transit Coordinator
2008 Enterprise Drive
Round Rock, Texas 78664
The completed application will include a healthcare professional attesting to the passenger's disability
and that such disability would prevent the passenger's ability to independently travel on the fixed route
service either all of the time or some of the time. The application is included as Attachment C.
A healthcare professional authorized to complete the healthcare provider verification section of the
application include, doctors of medicine, doctors of osteopathic medicine, doctors of chiropractic,
registered nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, certified nurse specialist, certified registered
nurse anesthetists, clinical social worker, and physical, speech, occupational, and massage therapists.

• Any additional requested information is received by staff
• Any applicant who has completed the above steps but has not received an eligibility
determination letter, within 21 days, will be entitled to unlimited use of the paratransit
service until you are notified your eligibility determination.
The applicant will be notified in writing of the applicant's eligibility. If approved, the passenger will be
added to the eligibility list and will be able to start scheduling rides. If denied,the individual has the
right to appeal that decision.
Having a disability does not automatically qualify you for ADA Paratransit Service.
Application Denial Appeal Process
If your application for ADA Paratransit Service is denied, you will need to submit your appeal, in
writing, within sixty(60) days of the date of the denial notice. Appeals should be sent to:
Transportation Department

individual(s)to hear your appeal. You will be notified by mail of the date and time of this meeting.

support your qualifications for ADA Paratransit service. You may bring a representative with you to
this meeting.
You will be notified of the designated individual(s) decision, in writing,within 30 days of the meeting.
Their decision is final.
Service Type
The City provides an origin to destination paratransit service, including:
• Feeder service to an accessible fixed route, where such service enables the individual to use the
fixed route bus system for part of the trip
• Curb-to-curb, shared ride, service
Passengers should wait for the vehicle in a location where the vehicle can be seen, and preferably where
the bus operator can see the passenger. Passengers will be dropped off in a safe location, as close as
possible to the entrance of your destination.
6
If a passenger needs assistance beyond the curb, it shall be provided as long as the assistance does not
result in the following:
• A direct threat
• The bus operator cannot see the vehicle from the door, typically no further than 75 feet from the
vehicle
• The bus operator entering the passengers home or other pick-up and drop-off locations
• The bus operator backing the vehicle
• The vehicle impeding or blocking traffic
If you live in a gated community, it is your responsibility to provide the gate code when making the
reservation. If you live in an apartment complex, the pick-up location is in front of the leasing office. If
a passenger cannot traverse to the leasing office, the passenger may be picked up in front of their
building, upon request.
Service Area and Hours of Operation
The City offers ADA Complementary Paratransit within the required 3/4 mile radius of each bus route,
including the beginning and ending points. Adjustments to this service area will be made on a case-by-
case basis and not extend beyond the city limits or the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City.
Paratransit Service will be provided the same days and hours as the City's Transit Service,which is
Monday—Friday, 6:30 a.m.—6:30 p.m. The Transit Service does not operate on major holidays.
Reservations
Reservations are taken Monday through Friday during normal business hours, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
except on designated holidays or weekends. Reservations can be made up to two weeks in advance.
Next-day service is provided for requests made, any time, during the preceding day, prior to 4:00 p.m.,
Monday through Friday.
On days when the offices are closed and no reservations can otherwise be made and when the following
day is a service day, an answering machine or similar recording device is available to patrons for
scheduling or canceling reservations. At opening of next business day, all messages will be checked and
calls returned to confirm reservations or cancellation.
Return Trips
Passengers will be asked, at time of initial reservation, to schedule a return time, if necessary.
Subscription Trip Policy
Passengers who use the paratransit service to make regular, recurring, trips can request a standing
reservation, referred to as a subscription trip,through the dispatch office. The ADA does not allow more
than 50%of its service to be subscription in nature. Subscription trips will be limited to no more than
50%of complementary paratransit service capacity. The City will take subscription requests on a first-
come-first-serve basis.
7
If a passenger makes a standing reservation and has three (3) no-shows, per the City's no-show policy,
the standing reservation will be cancelled and that passenger will not be eligible to qualify for
subscription service for three (3) months. Trips missed by the individual for reasons beyond his or her
control, including, but not limited to, trips that are missed due to operator error, will not count as a no-
show.
No-show Policy
No-shows, as well as late cancellations, result in wasted trips which could have been used by other
passengers. It is the policy of Round Rock Transit to record each customer's no-show(s) and apply
appropriate sanctions when customers establish a pattern of excessive no-shows. The policy is necessary
in order to recognize the negative impact no-shows have on the services provided to other passengers.
A no-show is defined as:
• any time a bus operator goes to pick a customer up and
o he or she decides not to use the service
o is not at the pickup location
o has not called to cancel their trip at least one (1) hour before the scheduled pick-up
time
o has waited the required 5 minutes and the passenger does not board the vehicle
Passenger no-shows for reasons that are beyond the passengers control will not be counted. Examples of
excused no-shows include, but are not limited to:
• illness,
• accidents,
• family emergency,
• passenger's appointment ran longer than expected and customer could not call to cancel, or
• Acts of God (flood, earthquake, etc.).
Passengers should contact reservations as soon as possible to alert them of your emergency so your
missed trip is not counted as a no-show.
Round Rock Transit schedules pick-ups and return trips separately. We will assume all scheduled return
trips are needed unless notice is given by the passenger.
If a passenger is a no-show for the first trip of the day, Round Rock Transit will not automatically cancel
subsequent trips of the day. If, however,the passenger does not need the return or other subsequent
trip(s),they will need to cancel them as soon as possible out of courtesy for other riders. If subsequent
trips are not cancelled the passenger will be charged with a no-show.
If a passenger has been transported to their destination, but who is a no-show when the bus returns,they
must call dispatch to request a return trip, however a pick-up window will not be guaranteed.
Suspensions of service will occur when a rider exceeds the maximum number of no-shows allowed per
month. Table 1 and Table 2 outline the maximum number of no-shows allowed per number of trips
scheduled and the associated penalties for violations.
8
If your service is suspended you will be sent a Notice of Service Suspension, to your home address on
file. The Notice will include dates of suspension, a no-show report, appeal process and a copy of this
Policy.

No-Show Service Suspension Appeals Process
If you have been suspended from service and feel the information regarding your no-show(s) is
incorrect, you have the right to submit an appeal.
All appeals must be submitted in writing, to the City at:
Transportation Department
Attn: Transit Coordinator
2008 Enterprise Drive
Round Rock, Texas 78644
within 15 days of the date of the Notice of Service Suspension letter. The appeal should provide the
reason you feel your service should not be suspended. Appeals will be reviewed by the City and you
will be notified of the City's decision within 10 days of receipt of the appeal.
Pick-up Times and Passenger Readiness
Passengers are given an approximate pick-up time, to allow for the best use of resources. Bus operators
strive to maintain prompt schedules to ensure all passenger reservations are honored. Passengers are
asked to allow a 30-minute window of time for arrival. The 30-minute window means the passenger
needs to be ready to board the vehicle 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the scheduled time.
Upon vehicle arrival, within the 30-minute window, passengers have five (5) minutes to board the bus.
Dispatch may contact the passenger if the vehicle is going to be earlier or later than the 30-minute
9
window, as there may be times when outside factors affect the vehicle's arrival time, such as traffic and
road conditions.
Traveling Companions of ADA Eligible Persons
Personal care attendants are eligible to accompany the ADA eligible person at no charge. Passengers
are required to reserve a space, at the time of reservation, for a personal care attendant. In addition, the
need of a personal care attendant needs to be disclosed during the application process. If the use of a
personal care attendant is not disclosed, then any individual accompanying the ADA eligible person
shall be regarded as a companion.
Companions, who are not acting in the capacity of a personal care attendant, with the same origin and
destination, are allowed to travel with the ADA eligible person on a space available basis. Companions
are required to pay the applicable paratransit fare.
Trip Purpose
The City will accept and handle all trip requests on an equal basis. The City will not prioritize or restrict
trip purposes for paratransit riders.
Service Animals, Mobility Devices, and Other Necessary Equipment
The City shall not prohibit any mobility device, provided it does not exceed the capacity of the vehicle
or its equipment(lifts/ramps).
The City shall not prohibit a passenger from boarding who has a respirator, portable oxygen and/or other
life support equipment, as long as the items do not violate the law or rules relating to the transportation
of hazardous materials. All equipment must be small enough to fit in the vehicle safely without
obstructing the aisle or blocking emergency exits.
All passengers are allowed to travel with service animals trained to assist them.
Lift and Securement Use Policy
In accordance with ADA regulations, Round Rock Transit will provide service to all individuals using
mobility devices that fit within the capacity of the lift being operated. Passengers are advised that bus
operators are not permitted to operate a mobility device onto the lift. The passenger is responsible for
getting onto the lift with minimal bus operator assistance for these devices.
Use of the securement system is required as a condition of service. All wheelchairs and mobility devices
must be safely secured before transport. When transporting passengers using mobility devices,Round
Rock Transit can suggest but not require passengers transfer to a seat. The passenger, in this case, has
the final decision as to whether a transfer is appropriate given the passengers' particular disability.
As the regulations require, a passenger who cannot enter the vehicle using the stairs or ramp, but who
does not use a wheelchair, will be allowed to enter the vehicle using the lift. Round Rock Transit does
not provide wheelchairs or other mobility devices.
10
Capacity Constraints
Service will not be limited because of capacity constraints.No waiting lists will be maintained and the
number of trips provided to an individual will not be restricted. Reservation times may be negotiated
within one hour before and after the requested pickup time.
Fare Structure
The regular fares for fixed routes is shown in Table 3. The paratransit fares will be no more than twice
the regular fare, per federal regulations, and will be adjusted in conjunction with changes in fixed route
fares. The City shall not impose any special charges for providing services to persons with a disability.
Table 3
Fare Regular ADA
Type- Fare Paratransit Fare
Single Ride $1.25 $2.00
Day Pass $2.50 $5.00
Rider Behavior
Passengers are expected to conduct themselves in a respectable manner. Unruly, violent or illegal
conduct will not be tolerated and will be dealt with promptly, including but not limited to expulsion
from the vehicle and/or notifying law enforcement.
Packages
Passengers are expected to only bring what they can safely carry on their own or with the assistance
from a personal care attendant or companion, in one trip. Packages cannot block the aisle or pose a
safety hazard.
Visitors
Individuals who are visiting the Round Rock area are eligible to use Round Rock Transit's ADA
Paratransit service if they provide roof of disability from the area in which they reside. This service is
available for a total of 21 days per calendar year. If the individual exceeds 21 days,then that person will
be required to submit the Round Rock Transit's ADA Application.
