Trail by Reach
Trail by Reach provides transportation for adults with developmental disabilities living in Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina, Golden Valley, St. Louis Park, and Richfield. We transport our riders to recreation, leisure, and educational programs offered by Adaptive Recreation & Learning Exchange (AR&LE) and 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.

Who We Support
Each of our riders need to check these boxes in order to qualify for Trail:
- Trail serves adults age 21 and older living in Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina, Golden Valley, Richfield, or St. Louis Park.
- Riders must be living in independent/semi-independent living situations.
- Each applicant will be evaluated on an individual basis. Further clarification of circumstances may be requested.
How It Works
Trail by Reach offers rides to participants in specific AR&LE and Reach programs. Riders can register for Trail rides through these programs, and we then send the rider list to our transportation provider to arrange the routes. Riders will receive a phone call with their pick-up time at least a day before the program. Our drivers offer door-to-door service, ensuring each rider is safely escorted from their home to the program and back again once the program ends.
