Sun Metro and the city of El Paso, in cooperation with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, began offering the LIFT (Living Independently Facilitated by Transportation) to the El Paso community.

The LIFT is Sun Metro's paratransit service for ADA paratransit-eligible clients, providing origin to destination (curb-to-curb), on-demand transportation using small buses equipped with hydraulic wheelchair lifts and wheelchair tie downs; as well as contracting with private operators using regular passenger vehicles.

LIFT operators are specially trained in sensitivity and defensive-driving techniques. The service provided by the LIFT compliments the service area and hours of operation offered by Sun Metro's traditional (or fixed-route) public transit service. The LIFT service area will extend 1.5 miles beyond Sun Metro's existing fixed-route service but within the El Paso city limits.
