York Region Transit Mobility Plus

York Region Transit Mobility Plus, or Mobility Plus, is a paratransit service operated by York Region Transit (YRT) in York Region, Ontario, Canada, for the disabled using specially equipped minibuses.

History
Mobility Plus was created in 2001 following the merger of the various transit agencies in York Region into YRT. Most of the mobility system was inherited from Vaughan Transit and Markham Transit (Mobility Bus and Taxi Scrip), who operated similar systems since the 1980s.

Services
YRT Mobility Plus operates in a similar manner to the Toronto Transit Commission's (TTC) Wheel-Trans service and makes connections to other operators in Greater Toronto such as the TTC, Brampton Transit, Miway (Mississauga), Durham Region Transit, and GO Transit.

Fixed routes are the Community Bus routes, a concept borrowed from the Toronto Transit Commission's Wheel-Trans community routes:


 * 520/521 Newmarket Community Bus
 * 522 Markham Community Bus
 * 589/590 Richmond Hill Community Bus

York Region Mobility Bus can operate service to and within Toronto bounded by Toronto-Mississauga boundary, Steeles Avenue West, Yonge Street and Highway 401. This is the case due to previous contract by Vaughan Transit.

Fleet
YRT Mobility Plus operates a mix of 60 different vehicles:


 *  Denotes wheelchair-accessible vehicles

YRT MP also contracts out services to taxi companies to operate car and minivan based services:


 * Royal Taxi
 * Mobility Transportation Services
 * Scarborough City Cab

YRT MP also operates an unknown number of Toyota Camry or Chevrolet Impala in the fleet.

Together they provide 29 taxis and 19 minivans to the MP fleet. YRT leased 3 minivans to the contracts to complete the non-bus fleet.
