Recreation and Habilitation Services (RAH) partners with Utah Valley Paratransit (UVP) to coordinate transportation to & from RAH scheduled activities and programs. RAH coordinates this transportation service as a courtesy to our members. Because the van service is funded through Utah Transit Authority (UTA), we are required to follow UTA guidelines pertaining to this public transportation service. This service is only available to and from locations within UTAs designated Paratransit boundaries and during the approved times. Individuals must be certified by UTA to be eligible. This RAH coordinated van service is able to accommodates those who are able to safely ride in traditional passenger vans without individual assistance. *Individuals who are not able to ride in typical passenger vans can still use the Paratransit van service but will need to schedule their rides directly through UTA, rather than through RAH. RAH coordinated van fees are calculated on a daily rate which is based on the current UTA daily rate of two one-way trips.
