May a paratransit-eligible individual bring a companion along on trips?

An eligible individual must be allowed to bring one companion on a trip even if the companions presence reduces the space available for other paratransit-eligible individuals. Additional companions (beyond one) are served on a space-available basis; in other words, as long as they do not displace other ADA paratransit-eligible individuals. To be considered as accompanying an eligible individual, a companion must have the same origin and destination point.
