Accessible Transportation Services

Provides access to DARTS accessible transportation and the Taxi Scrip Program for people who are unable to use regular public transit (i.e. HSR buses) due to a disability. Determines eligibility and registers passengers for these accessible programs, and provides customer care.

Note: all HSR fixed-route buses are configured with Accessible Low Floors (ALF). A ramp provides level entry and exit with no steps, accommodating wheelchairs, strollers, scooters etc. measuring at or within 30 inches wide and 48 inches long.

 
ATS ID Cards and Support Person ID Card applications are available at and processed through the ATS Office on Upper James. Support Person ID cards are for customers with a permanent or temporary disability who require help when travelling on HSR buses. The card allows you to have a support person take the HSR with you for free. Application requires a Health Care Professional's certification. A confirmation letter with details about how to get your Support Person ID card comes by mail when you are approved.
