On November 14, 2024, TARTA announced that TARPS is becoming TARTA Move, a rebrand and name change that will bring all of our services under the TARTA umbrella. It is an intentional statement that says paratransit service is just as important to our community as our fixed-route services, and TARTA is proud to provide both. No more confusion if TARPS is part of TARTA. Rather, with the new TARTA Move name and brand we are stating our commitment to deliver excellent service to those with mobility challenges.
As we transition the brand, riders will see the TARPS vehicles refreshed with the TARTA Move brand throughout the 2025 year. Rest assured, other than the new TARTA Move vehicle design, everything you’re familiar with will remain the same—whether it’s how you book a ride, access to our dedicated customer service team, or the high-quality service provided by our operators.
TARTA Move
Toledo Area Regional Paratransit Service
Riders with disabilities gain independence and access to the community with TARTA Move paratransit service. Buses with lifts, ramps, and attentive staff make the going easy. All registered TARTA Move customers may use TARTA’s regular bus line free of fare. TARTA Move customers may also use our convenient TARTA Flex service for $3 each way. TARTA Flex operates in Sylvania, Maumee, Waterville, Rossford, Holland, and many other areas, delivering on-demand rides in fully accessible vans. TARTA Move-eligible passengers and customers over the age of 65 can use TARTA Flex in TARTA’s entire coverage area, provided either the pick-up or drop-off point is in a Flex Zone.
Ready to move in Oregon
TARTA’s paratransit service will be available in Oregon for the first time on January 7, 2024, along with fixed-route and Flex services. Oregon residents with a qualifying disability can contact TARTA Move at 419-382-9901 to find out how to apply for this curb-to-curb service.
TARTA Move vehicles can make pick-ups within ¾ of a mile of fixed-route stops. Interested in giving TARTA Move a try? View the map below to see if you live in a TARTA Move zone.

Mobility is possible with TARTA Move
The continued increase in demand for TARTA Move has created the need for a dedicated facility. Features of the 80,000 sq. ft. green building’s design includes a geothermal heating and cooling system, solar panels, skylights, reflective roofing and earth sheltering for energy efficiency. TARTA Move operates in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, is 100% ADA accessible and covers the same service area as our full-size buses: all of Toledo, Maumee, Rossford, Oregon, Ottawa Hills, Sylvania, Sylvania Township, and Waterville.
