Our
Mission
Lift Line is
committed to broadening opportunities for all individuals by providing
and coordinating the most accessible transportation possible. "Transportation
for Independent Living"
Lift Line has been providing the Santa Cruz County community with
daily accessible transportation for over 20 years. We provide county
residents who are disabled, elderly or frail with nearly 100,000
door-to-door rides per year.
And
we are ready to serve you!
Our fleet of vehicles provide comfortable trips for eligible riders
who are ambulatory or use wheelchairs or other mobility aids. Escorts,
personal care attendants, and a limited number of traveling companions
are welcome.
For more information, please call one of our friendly Reservationists:
(831) 425-1558 or
(831) 688-9663
Lift Line operates several transportation programs
for accessible travel throughout Santa Cruz County. All programs
involve an application process and eligibility requirements. Please
call Lift Line directly for more information on any of our programs.
Taxi Scrip
We offer discounted coupons or "scrip" to use for taxi
fares. An eligible rider buys scrip from Lift Line at a discounted
rate, and then arranges his/her own taxi ride directly with one
of four taxi companies in Santa Cruz County. The scrip is used in
place of money to pay for or supplement the price of the taxi ride
from one of our participating taxi companies.
Medical Ride Credit Program
The Medical Ride Credit Program is designed for the residents of
Santa Cruz County who do not qualify for ParaCruz or MediCal transportation
services or are unable to pay the $6 ParaCruz roundtrip fee. Free
of charge.
Rides also provided free of charge to:
• Cabrillo Stroke Center
