About Newtrax Newtrax is dedicated to creating transportation access and bridging gaps to meaningful vocation and community life for individuals whose opportunities might otherwise be limited. Through safe, compassionate, reliable, and cost-effective transportation services, Newtrax enables adults with disabilities and seniors to access employment, programs, services, and opportunities to participate fully in their communities. Founded in 2011 through a collaborative venture between two disability and human services organizations, Merrick, Inc. and PAI, Newtrax was established to address a critical transportation need for the individuals served by its founding partners. Today, Newtrax provides more than 1,200 one-way rides each day for adults with disabilities, seniors, and others with other unmet transportation needs, approximately one-third of which require lift-equipped vehicles. Through partnerships with organizations across its communities, Newtrax continues to expand access to essential transportation services and help ensure individuals can stay connected to their communities.
