All CTTRANSIT buses have wheelchair lifts or ramps for access by persons
with disabilities. Also, the bus can "kneel" to lower the first step height.
Please ask the operator to kneel the bus to assist you in boarding or
alighting.
Most types of mobility devices (wheelchairs, 3-wheel scooters, and walkers)
can be accommodated on the buses. Each bus has a system for securing
wheelchairs near the front of the bus. CTTRANSIT safety policy requires a
4-point securement for all mobility devices. Use of the lap belt is
recommended for the customer´s maximum safety.
Non-wheelchair, mobility impaired passengers may also use the lift or ramp
to board the bus. Please ask the operator to deploy the mobility access
unit. Passengers standing on the lift device should hold the handrails
firmly and watch their head because of the vertical height limitations.
If you have a disability which prohibits your use of a CTTRANSIT bus, you may be eligible for paratransit service. This special service is provided by various organizations located within CTTRANSIT's service areas. Please call one of the following service operators for information about their paratransit services.
