Transportation Resources

The Inland Empire has two major transit agencies: Omnitrans in San Bernardino County and Riverside Transit Agency in Riverside County.

Access Service – San Bernardino County. Access is a service designed to provide equal access to public transportation for persons who are physically or cognitively unable to use regular bus service. Access provides curb-to-curb service to complement the Omnitrans fixed-route bus system. Access is available to pick up ADA certified residents within the city limits of the 15 cities that comprise the Omnitrans service area for a $5.00 surcharge. Service is available Monday through Friday from 9 am to 8 pm and on Saturday and Sunday from 7 am to 7 pm. To apply for ADA Certification you can download an ADA Certification application from the Omnitrans website or request an ADA application package by calling (909) 379-7100. https://omnitrans.org/services/access-ada/

Dial-A-Ride Riverside Transit Authority. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Riverside Transit Agency provides ADA Dial-A-Ride service to anyone with a disability who cannot use the fixed route bus system some or all of the time. RTA provides Dial-A-Ride service within ¾ mile of a regular RTA fixed bus route. It is strongly encouraged that you verify that your home is within the Dial-A-Ride service area before applying for service. If you have any questions about ADA services, whether you live within the Dial-A-Ride service area or about Dial-A-Ride policies, please call (800) 795-7887. http://www.riversidetransit.com/index.php/dial-a-ride/what-is-dial-a-ride

Compassion Allowance Program

Social Security has an obligation to provide benefits quickly to applicants whose medical conditions are so serious that their conditions obviously meet disability standards. Compassionate Allowances (CAL) are a way of quickly identifying diseases and other medical conditions that invariably qualify under the Listing of Impairments based on minimal objective medical information. Compassionate Allowances allow Social Security to target the most obviously disabled individuals for allowances based on objective medical information that we can obtain quickly. Compassionate Allowances is not a separate program from the Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income programs. Social Security’s Compassionate Allowance program has expanded to include 200 disabling conditions.

For the expanded list of conditions please click https://www.ssa.gov/compassionateallowances/conditions.htm

For more information on the CAL Program click https://www.ssa.gov/compassionateallowances/index.htm.

Social Security Income

This link explains what Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is, who can get it and how to apply. It provides basic information and is not intended to answer all questions. For specific information about your situation, you should talk with a Social Security representative. The SSI program makes payments to people with low income who are age 65 or older or are blind or have a disability. The Social Security Administration manages the SSI program. Even though Social Security manages the program, SSI is not paid for by Social Security taxes. SSI is paid for by U.S. Treasury general funds, not the Social Security trust funds. Click here http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/11000.html to learn more about what SSI is and how it can benefit you. For information on how to apply for SSI please click here http://www.ssa.gov/pgm/ssi.htm.
