I would like to express concern of no disabled transportation in Lathrop, CA. I've been here over a year, and when I moved here May 2023 I applied for handicap transportation (which I had in Stanislaus County) I received some bus assistance Access Pass & PCA, which helps in bus fare, but I'm told there is no Paratransit in servicing Lathrop, they only service in Manteca. I have severe spinal stenosis with bulging discs, slippage and a fissure, also severe nerve damage. I would very much appreciate to have handicap transportation available, since it is a 30 - 45 min walk to bus stop to get to Manteca, which I would like to do shopping at Walmart. I also had to stop my HiSet for my high school equivalency last year due to it taking me 1 hour to walk from where I live to Manteca Adult Ed. Then another 1 hour to walk home. I am in my 50's and have many challenges trying to do my grocery shopping and having to take care of errands. I once asked an elderly at bus stop in Lathrop, she may have been in late 80's how long her walk was to get to bus stop, she said about 30 min. She was also headed to Walmart to do her shopping. With no handicap transportation here it makes it hard on the elderly as well as the handicapped/disabled. It would be nice if Lathrop provided this ParaTransit service throughout the week including weekends. I feel so trapped not being able to go anywhere on weekends and so in despair when I need to take care of errands such as social security or getting medications and so forth. Please take this matter into consideration to benefit and include the elderly and handicapped in the community of Lathrop

Hi Barbara,
Although the City of Lathrop does not offer Paratransit Services , I am happy to tell you that San Joquin RTD does. I will include a link to this message that will take you to the SJRTD Paratransit Website. You can schedule your trips with them and I think they have very flexible hours as long as you plan your trips ahead of time. Thank you for reaching out and I hope the information that I provided helps you.
