Access Paratransit and the County Plan: the ¾-Mile Rule Covers the Town

the paratransit frame, November 2026

The town's paratransit coverage follows its bus coverage. Transpo's Access service — the ADA complementary paratransit — is provided within three quarters of a mile of the fixed-route service, and "all trips must take place within the defined service area"; it runs the same days and hours as the regular fixed-route service (Monday to Friday 5:10 a.m. to 10:15 p.m., Saturday 6:20 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., no Sunday), at a fare of $2.00, with reservations at (574) 234-1188. Because Route 5 runs the 933 corridor through Roseland, the three-quarter-mile Access corridor around it covers the town's highway band — the town measures 0.385 square miles — which is stated here as the inference it is, drawn from the service-area rule rather than from a listed stop. The county planning frame is MACOG's CONNECT Transit Plan, produced by Transpo with the Michiana Area Council of Governments and the Interurban Trolley in a 2021–2023 operational analysis, whose short-term network was implemented on 2 June 2025; its Route 5 recommendation is that the route "would operate the same limited schedule. It is straightened to stay on Michigan Street instead of deviating to Iroquois. The loop at the north end has been extended to serve Clay High School." No Clay Township-based or Roseland-based dial-a-ride or demand-response service of its own was found, at limited span; that negative is not printed as proof of non-existence.
