TRAIL by Reach for Resources
TRAIL by Reach provides transportation for adults with developmental disabilities living in Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina, St. Louis Park, and Richfield. We transport our riders to recreation, leisure, and educational programs offered by Adaptive Recreation & Learning Exchange (AR&LE) and by Reach, if a program is hosted in one of these designated cities. All programs are specifically designed to meet the needs of people with developmental disabilities, providing the independence to enrich their lives, mentally, creatively and socially.

How It Works
TRAIL by Reach grants a set number of ride requests to AR&LE programs. Riders then register for TRAIL rides to specific programs through AR&LE. Rider lists are sent to our transportation provider to be routed for transportation, and phone calls are made to riders with their pick-up times. Transportation drivers provide door-through-door service, escorting each rider to ensure a safe ride from the door of their residence to the door of the AR&LE program. When the program is completed, riders are picked up and returned home.
