TOPS (Transportation Options) Paratransit is the designated shared-ride demand-response transit service operated by Broward County Transit (BCT). Designated by the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged as the Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) for Broward County under Chapter 427, F.S., TOPS delivers specialized door-to-door transit for older adults and individuals whose disabling conditions prevent using standard fixed-route public buses.

The TOPS fleet consists of fully ADA-compliant vans and minibuses equipped with automatic hydraulic wheelchair lifts, non-slip entry ramps, and state-of-the-art securement systems. Professional drivers undergo rigorous criminal background investigations, medical fitness evaluations, defensive driving training, and passenger assistance sensitivity instruction to ensure senior riders are safely escorted from ground-level exterior doorways into the vehicle.

Riders utilize TOPS to travel anywhere within Broward County that is served by fixed-route buses, including clinics, specialized medical centers, senior community centers, congregate nutrition dining halls, and social service offices. Inter-county transfer trips to Miami-Dade and Palm Beach transit systems are coordinated at designated county borderline transit hubs.

Operating from Broward County Transit headquarters in Plantation, the program offers fare subsidies under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Florida Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) grant funding. Reservations can be scheduled up to seven days in advance, with next-day scheduling available for certified riders.
