If you plan on being in Rochester for more than 21 days in a 365-day period, you may need to apply.
How to Apply
To apply for visitor’s status please have your paratransit provider e-mail verification to our office. To process the request, we will need to obtain the following information:
- Your full name

Where I live does not have Paratransit Service
If you do not have paratransit in your home area and your disability is not apparent, a certification of the disability by your healthcare provider is needed. We will also require you to provide items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 above. Once this basic documentation is provided RTS Access will make service available.
