MATAplus

MATAplus is a shared ride paratransit service designed to meet the transportation needs of persons with disabilities in the Memphis service area. The service covers the same area as the MATA bus system and operate during the same days and hours as the fixed-route bus system in the same area. The service area extends three-fourths (3/4) of a mile beyond the fixed-routes, which means that anywhere beyond the area mentioned can not qualify for MATAplus services. Two types of services are offered through MATAplus: Advance/Demand Response, which allows riders to book reservations in advance, and a subscription service that allows riders to use the service to take them to their destination and back.

MATA Trolley

The MATA Trolley network consists of three lines, which are serviced by classic streetcars and operate seven days a week including holidays. There are stations at 24 locations (in and out bound stations are counted as a single location) and 35 of the stations are sheltered and ADA accessible.^[6]

As of June 1, 2014, the trolley service is being suspended after two streetcars caught fire. The vehicles are being replaced on a temporary basis by MATA buses until an assessment is completed on whether to continue using the streetcars or replace them with newer light rail cars.^[7]
