Also for the list, Access Paratransit drivers, which may be a little confusing.
Paratransit is an extension of the bus lines. Access policy specifically says drivers are not to accept tips. And there's a reason for this. Access does not want drivers given preferential treatment to riders or breaking the rules in exchange for tips.
What makes this difficult for riders to understand is paratransit bus agencies often contract and subcontract with taxi companies, and it's not uncommon to see cabs picking up ambulatory Access riders. So riders, especially the elderly think they need to tip the drivers, and given the cab drivers make less than when they're picking up fares, the cabbies appreciate it.
But it's not necessary to tip the full time Access drivers.
