Program Description
The persons with disabilities program (PWD) is made available and regulated through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. LCTA Shared Ride offers reduced fare transportation to persons with disabilities as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act. PWD consumers must be between the ages of 18-64, live in Luzerne County, and need accessible public transit in a participating county beyond ADA complementary paratransit services.
The PWD program is the payer of last resort. The PWD program can be used for medical trips if you are ineligible for the Medical Assistance Transportation Program (MATP). PWD can also be used for trips to work, social events, shopping and most other trip needs.
