BUS STOP ACCESSIBILITY ASSISTANCE
ValleyRide patrons with disabilities that affect their mobility will be able to “flag” down buses near bus stops with limited public access.
The new ADA Accessible Bus Stop Policy allows qualifying patrons to obtain an orange flag or card that they can use to hail a bus near a bus stop that they cannot gain close access to.
This is an interim policy. VRT is currently conducting an analysis of each bus stop to determine accessibility needs and to prioritize improvements to those sites. VRT has been awarded federal stimulus funds and will use some local monies to implement accessibility improvements.
To access the ADA Accessible Bus Stop Policy and application form, click HERE. After completing the form, you can fax it to 208-846-8564 or mail it to: Valley Regional Transit, attn: RideLine, 830 N. Main St., Ste. 230, Meridian, ID 83642.
