Metro Mobility Application PDF Details

The Metro Mobility Application form is designed to ensure those who can't use standard public transportation due to a disability have access to suitable transit options. The process is detailed and requires the submission of both a Certification Questionnaire and a Professional Verification Form. The Certification Questionnaire needs to be filled out by the applicant or a helping advocate, requiring comprehensive completion, including signatures from the applicant, their guardian if necessary, and anyone who aided in filling out the form. Attention to detail is crucial; this section verifies the applicant's information under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for paratransit eligibility. The Professional Verification Form takes this a step further by necessitating a healthcare or professional familiar with the applicant's condition to complete parts of the application. This can include a wide range of professionals from physicians to certified orientation and mobility specialists. The intention here is to gather an objective assessment of the applicant's need for Metro Mobility services. Applications must be submitted in full, with both parts filled and signed, directly to the Metro Mobility Service Center, highlighting an important note: submissions by fax or email are not accepted. Sometimes, additional information may be required necessitating an in-person assessment to gauge the applicant's mobility and cognitive abilities in a controlled environment. To avoid delays, applicants are advised to ensure all parts of the form are correctly filled out and submitted together. Incomplete applications can lead to processing delays, with the Service Center outlining clear steps for resubmission should that occur. With a 21-calendar-day processing promise, Metro Mobility is committed to evaluating applications swiftly, ensuring those eligible can access the services they need without undue wait times.

STEP 4 IN-PERSON ASSESSMENT

Usually the forms provide Metro Mobility Staff with all of the information needed to make a determination on eligibility. Sometimes however more information is needed. When this happens an applicant may be asked to come in for an “in-person assessment.”

This assessment may include:

A conversation about the applicant’s current mobility. The Metro Mobility evaluator will talk with you about how you currently get around.

A pretend bus trip on the computer. This standardized test is designed to measure a person’s cognitive ability to use regular ixed-route transit. (Functional Assessment of Cognitive Transit Skills or FACTS for short.)

A walk outside or through the skyway. This will help determine things such as physical ability to get to the regular ixed-route bus as well as memory and landmark recognition.

A standard walking and balance test. This standardized test measures a person’s risk of falling. (Tinetti Gait and Balance Test.)

PLEASE NOTE THAT APPLICANTS WHO NEED TO COME IN FOR IN-PERSON ASSESSMENTS WILL STILL HAVE THEIR APPLICATIONS PROCESSED WITHIN 21 CALENDAR DAYS.

COMMON ISSUES

In order to make a determination within 21 calendar days the Metro Mobility Service Center must have a complete application. There are several things which may cause an application to be incomplete. By double checking these things PRIOR to submitting your application you may avoid delays in processing.

1.One of the forms is missing. Your application must contain both the Certiication Questionnaire and the Professional Veriication. Please ensure both are submitted in the same envelope.

2.One of the forms is not signed. Both the Certiication Questionnaire and the Professional Veriication must be signed. If either the applicant or the professional forgets to sign the form it is considered incomplete.

3.The professional credentials are missing. Professionals must include their titles and credentials when signing the Professional Veriication.

Jane Doe X (Incomplete) Jane Doe M.D.

(Complete) Jane Doe R.N.

(Complete)

AN INCOMPLETE APPLICATION WILL BE RETURNED TO THE APPLICANT ONE (1) TIME. IF IT IS SUBMITTED A SECOND TIME AND IS STILL INCOMPLETE IT WILL BE HELD FOR 60 DAYS BY THE METRO MOBILITY SERVICE CENTER BEFOREIT IS DISCARDED.

APPLICATIONS MUST BE PROCESSED WITHIN 21 CALENDAR DAYS. IF YOUR PROPERLY COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED APPLICATION IS NOT PROCESSED WITHIN 21 DAYS, YOU WILL BE GRANTED PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY FOR METRO MOBILITY SERVICE UNTIL YOUR APPLICATION IS PROCESSED.
