SUMMARY
The City of Hayward submits an Annual Paratransit Program Plan to the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) detailing the proposed parameters of paratransit service. The Hayward Operated Paratransit (“HOP”) program provides paratransit and related services to eligible enrolled riders and their attendants who live in Hayward, the unincorporated areas of Castro Valley, San Lorenzo, Ashland, and Cherryland, and San Leandro.
The HOP is administered by the City of Hayward Community Services Division. The program is funded in its entirety by Alameda County Measure B/BB half cent tax revenues administered by ACTC. The HOP complements and supplements the county-mandated ADA paratransit service, East Bay Paratransit (EBP). ACTC expects City-based programs such as Hayward’s to have more flexibility to meet the unique needs of its consumers and offer a wide range of customized services.
