Many people with disabilities can use C-TRAN’s regular lift-equipped and kneeling buses.
For those with disabilities that prevent use of the regular bus system, C-TRAN offers C-VAN paratransit bus service, a comparable curb-to-curb, reservation based service. This program complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA ).
The term comparable means that C-TRAN’s paratransit service (C-VAN ) is available on the same days, during the same times, and in the same areas as noncommuter, regular bus service. Your disability or your age does not automatically qualify you for C-VAN service.
Eligibility for C-VAN is based on your functional ability to use a regular public transit bus. Therefore, as part ofthe C-VAN eligibility process, some applicants may be required to participate in an in-person Functional Evaluation oftheir current skills as they relate to riding a regular lift-equipped and kneeling bus.
ADA does not require a transit agency “...to meet all the transportation needs of individuals with disabilities.” ADA ensures that people with disabilities receive the same public transportation service opportunities everyone else receives. Completing these application forms is the first step in determining the right public transportation service for you.
