ACCESSIBILITY
Passenger ramps/lifts for wheelchair/mobility device users, or anyone who has trouble climbing steps (passengers with strollers or carts may also request the use of ramps/lifts)
“Kneeling,” which lowers the first step several inches to make boarding easier (note: special “Flash Cards” are available upon request from AC Transit, which passengers can display prior to boarding, for requesting ramps/lifts or the kneeler)
Priority seating for persons with disabilities and seniors are marked with signs above or near the seats. You may ask the operator to remind non-disabled passengers to vacate a seat for you.
2 wheelchair securement areas are provided on each bus. Using the securement devices is required and the operator will assist you.
A no-cost, personalized wheelchair marking/tether strap program is also available for identifying proper securement points on wheelchairs, scooters and other mobility devices. Call (510) 891-7113 to schedule an appointment.
Stop announcements at major intersections and transfer points are provided either verbally by drivers or by automated equipment.
