Good Evening!

Just wanted to revisit pertinent information for visitors as the conference 
is approaching.  If the following information could be sent to participants 
in advance, that would be great!

The Valley Metro home page can be viewed at the link:

ADA Paratransit  (ADA Dial-a-Ride)

ADA paratansit certified visitors just need to be prepared to show an ADA 
card or ADA letter from their home region when boarding the ADA paratransit 
vehicle.

Non ADA Paratransit ("Same Day" Dial-a-Ride)

An ADA card, a Medicare Card or Valley Metro reduced Fare ID card can be 
used to obtain access to Non ADA paratransit service

See more information at the link:

Fixed Route (Valley Metro Local Bus service)

Customers can show a Medicare Card to the bus operator when boarding the 
fixed route (local bus service) to obtain the reduced rate.

Out of state reduced fare ID cards are not recognized as proof of 
eligibility when boarding fixed route.

However, conference participants can obtain a Valley Metro Reduced Fare 
Photo ID card from Central Station for $2.50 if they show a Reduced Fare 
Photo ID card from the home jurisdiction or other proof of eligibility for 
reduced fares
