To request a stop, pull the cord or press the red button located on the rails of the bus at least a block before your destination. As the bus nears the stop, walk to the rear door holding on to the straps or rails, until the bus comes to a complete stop. For your safety, walk to the nearest marked crosswalk or intersection to cross the street.
We want you to come along and ride with us, but we ask that out of consideration for others, that you follow these rules:
All CCRTA buses are accessible and equipped with ramps or wheelchair lifts. Buses kneel to make it easier for passengers to board the vehicle. Ask the bus operator to kneel the bus if you need assistance.
Seating areas at the front of the bus are reserved for persons with disabilities and older adults requiring assistance with boarding and exiting the bus. Wheelchair securement areas are also located at the front of the bus.
Please cooperate by complying with the bus operator’s request to relocate to an alternate seat when space is needed to secure a wheelchair.
Automated systems or CCRTA operators must announce, at minimum, all transfer points, major intersections, destination points, and other intervals along a route sufficient to permit individuals with visual or cognitive disabilities to be oriented to their location. In addition, the operator is required to announce any stop upon the request of the rider.
