coordinated complementary paratransit service within a region.
    (c) Each public entity shall treat as eligible for its complementary 
paratransit service all visitors who present documentation that they are 
ADA paratransit eligible, under the criteria of Sec. 37.125 of this 
part, in the jurisdiction in which they reside.
    (d) With respect to visitors with disabilities who do not present

apply for or receive eligibility certification from the public entity 
before receiving the service required by this section.
