Public Transit for Seniors & People with Disabilities

GO ACCESS is origin-to-destination public transit for people with disabilities that prevent them from using fixed-route bus (ADA Certification) as well as seniors aged 65 and older. If you do not meet these eligibility criteria but have a health care related transportation need, try GCTD's Zones service. 

GO ACCESS serves the cities of Ojai, Oxnard, Port Hueneme, Ventura and unincorporated areas of Ventura County between these cities.  Please note that GO ACCESS is a mini-bus transportation service. When planning your trip, remember that you will often share the ride with others. The driver will usually pick up and drop off other people on the way to your destination so your travel time will be longer than it would be by private automobile or taxi.
