Same-Day Paratransit Innovation Act aims to enhance paratransit services for individuals with disabilities by establishing minimum technology.

The Same-Day Paratransit Innovation Act seeks to improve paratransit services for individuals with disabilities by establishing minimum standards for paratransit software and technology. The Act mandates the Federal Transit Administration to develop these standards within one year of enactment, considering input from various stakeholders. It also increases funding for same-day paratransit services, allowing up to 70% of net operating costs to be covered. The Act emphasizes the importance of integrating multiple service providers, real-time route optimization, and dynamic trip scheduling.
