Accessible
Services in your area may provide more easily accessible service for the disabled than regular public transit.
Reaching, waiting for, and using conventional fixed-route bus service can be very difficult for older adults with medical conditions or disabilities. Door-to-door service with specially equipped vans and buses can help.
Accessible transit services provide several advantages:
- Door-to-door or curb-to-curb service
- Wheelchair access and assistance
- Added room for walkers and other mobility devices
- Standing-order service
