Riding Safely
Regional Transit Service Commission (RTSC)
Alberta’s government has approved the formation of a new regional services commission for the Edmonton Metropolitan Region with a mandate for improving regional transit and mobility.
Accessibility |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In an effort to improve transit access for users with limited mobility, the new FST buses are specially equipped with accessible ramps and the ability to kneel and lower. Riders may request the ramp by asking the driver to activate the feature. A companion may ride free for persons using mobility aids and equipment. Riders must ensure that their equipment be safely secured aboard FST vehicles. The City is currently in the process of implementing asphalt pads at bus stops for greater accessibility throughout the transit network. |
