On Bus

People with accessibility needs are always welcome on UTA buses. Here are some helpful tips when riding the bus:

• When waiting at the bus stop, move close to the front of the bus zone, near the bus stop sign.
• Ask the bus operator to lower a ramp if you need it. Buses can also “kneel” or lower the first step rather than use the ramp if that is easier for you.
• When using the ramp, wait until the ramp is ready before attempting to board.
• Tie downs are available to help keep people in wheelchairs safe. The operator will secure wheelchairs in the tie-down area. Additionally lap/shoulder belts are available on request.
• Use the call strip on the seat or lowered pull cord to signal your desired stop.
• You may request a courtesy stop to exit the bus at another safe location if a regular stop is not as accessible.

On TRAX

• All rail vehicles are accessible to riders with mobility devices and have seating areas available.
• Riders who need a ramp to enter the newer trains (on the Red and Green lines) can press the blue “wheelchair accessible” button on the door you wish to enter. A ramp will deploy before the door opens. When the door opens, you can then enter the car.
• If you need wheelchair accessibility on the Blue line, each Blue line station has a concrete ramp leading to where the front of the train will arrive. Wait at the top of the ramp until the train arrives. The train operator will open the door for you assist you with boarding and leaving the train. Near the front of each Blue line car, there is a place where those using wheelchairs or walkers can park and ride.

On FrontRunner

• All FrontRunner trains are accessible to riders with mobility devices and have seating areas available. You can board at any door. If you need assistance, head to the accessibility symbol at the platform's south end where a FrontRunner ambassador can help you board.
