Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT)
B-Line has studied Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) needs in Butte County to understand feasible solutions/alternatives for individuals not qualifying for ADA or Dial-a-Ride service. The study defined the types and extent of need in consideration of responsive and cost-effective service models through stakeholder input and engagement. It concluded with an Action Plan for moving forward the preferred Butte County NEMT alternative(s). The study was completed mid-2022 and can be found here: NEMT Action Plan
Microtransit
Through the completion of a routing study, B-Line is developing a new service called Microtransit. Microtransit is generally defined as a "flexible" public transit option. Microtransit allows agencies like Butte Regional Transit to offer riders an on-demand option that fits somewherein between fixed route and dial-a-ride services. Like many counties in the northern parts of California, rural development encompasses much of the regions area that can be difficult to serve with fixed route or dial-a-ride services. The service works much like UberPOOL or Lyft Line, but it utilizes publicly owned transit vehicles ranging in size from full size coach transit buses to smaller 8-10 person vans.
B-Line is estimating delivery of the NEMT and Microtransit services for the latter part of 2025. For any questions on NEMT or Microtransit, please contact Sara Cain at scain@bcag.org.
