GENERAL PUBLIC FARES = FREE WITHIN COSHOCTON COUNTY

If you are not covered under a funding source and are traveling outside of Coshocton County, you will be require to pay a public fare based on mileage.

Out-of-County Public Fare Rates:

                                                              0-25 miles = $8.00 one-way                                                                                                                        26-50 miles = $12.00 one-way                                                                                                                    51-75 miles = $18.00 one-way                                                                                                                  76-100 miles = $24.00 one-way                                                            101-130 miles = $30.00 one-way

All public fares must be paid in cash (or with ParaPass card) at the time of your trip. Passengers must have exact change upon boarding the vehicle for each trip (this means  you cannot pay for both legs of your trip upon entering the vehicle on the first pick up. Each time you board the vehicle is a ‘trip’). Drivers do not make change and no change will be given, even if you give the driver more than your fare amount. Any amount given to the driver above the Fare rate will be used as a donation toward the CPT program. Please note: no receipts are given for public fares.

Elderly and/or Disabled Fares

Half-Priced Elderly & Disabled  (E&D) Rates are available for those who qualify. Individual’s age 60 or older and/or those who are considered disabled are eligible with a pre-approved E&D Application and proof of age and/or disability. Once approved you will be issued a customized E&D card and charged the half-priced fare rate on all eligible rides! Please call or stop by the office to obtain an E&D Form or download it from the ‘Downloads/Forms’ page.

 Donations/Contributions

Even though a transportation trip may have been no cost out of pocket to an individual, often times only a portion of the full cost of the trip is covered by federal, state or local dollars.

CPT always gladly accepts donations! These contributions help provide the required local match necessary for many of our grants and the continuation of providing transportation to our community!

Every $1.00 donated locally equals $1.00 toward federal grant match.
