Q: Can riders with disabilities use Kitsap Transit routed buses?
Q: Can riders with disabilities use Kitsap Transit routed buses?
A: Of course! Every Kitsap Transit bus has a wheelchair lift or ramp. Coach operators are trained to assist people with disabilities in boarding and tying down their mobility aids. Many buses can "kneel" or be lowered to help you reach the first step. Just ask the driver if you need the lift, ramp or kneeling.
For your safety, the coach operator will use all four tie-downs for your mobility aid, where available and feasible.
By federal law, coach operators announce intersections and destination points along each route. If you ask the coach operator, they will let you know when the bus reaches the stop you want to get off at.
If you require a Personal Care Attendant (PCA) to assist you when you travel, they can board with you free of charge if you have an American's with Disabilities Act card or Regional Reduced Fare Permit ORCA card designating that you require PCA assistance.
