Swedish term (edited):
färdtjänstansökan
application for special municipal paratransit service
In the first occurrence. This is more specific and to the point than just "paratransit".
In later occurrences, where the meaning is clear from the context, just "paratransit" will be fine, e.g. in "färdtjänstutredaren" as in your quote above.
