Durham Region residents apply for Specialized Services, DRT's door-to-door shared-ride service that can combine an accessible van with a conventional bus, using this 18-page package. A registered health care professional evaluates in Section C how functional limitations affect each part of a transit trip. Eligibility can be unconditional, temporary or conditional, and is based on function, not diagnosis.
The applicant or designate completes the Applicant Information Page and Section B and initials each page of Section A. A physician, nurse practitioner, registered or registered practical nurse, physiotherapist, occupational therapist or kinesiologist completes Section C, and also Section D Part 2 when a day program agreement applies.
