Accessibility

All AC Transit buses are equipped with the following accessibility features:

• Passenger lifts or ramps (for wheelchair/mobility aid users, or anyone who has trouble climbing steps)
• "Kneeling", which lowers the first step several inches to make the first step easier (note: special "Flash Cards" are available upon request from AC Transit, which passengers can display prior to boarding, for requesting lift or kneeler)
• Priority Seating near the front of buses, for persons with disabilities and seniors
• Two wheelchair securement locations per bus, each equipped with securement devices which hold the wheelchair safely in place, and are required for all wheelchair users. Drivers provide securement assistance as needed. Also provided are lap/shoulder belts which wheelchair users can request, along with assistance from driver.
• A special Wheelchair Marking/Tether Strap program is also available for identifying/providing proper securement points on wheelchairs
• Stop announcements at major intersections and transfer points, provided either verbally by drivers, or by automated equipment.
• See "Riding the Bus is Easy" for more information. For sight-impaired customers, use Adobe Reader 7.0 to read the information out loud to you. Open the pdf and select "Read Out Loud" from the View menu. To download a free copy of Adobe Reader 7.0, go here.
