There are three types of accessible transit services in Nelson/Slocan
Valley.
Low-floor buses provide wheelchair
and scooter accessible service on transit routes throughout
the region. Low-floor buses are equipped with a ramp, have
no entry steps and have a kneeling feature that lowers the
entry level for passengers who use walkers, crutches or who
have difficulty climbing stairs.
For people with disabilities who are unable to use the fixed-route
transit system without assistance, handyDART
provides door-to-door transportation to and from accessible
building entrances.
The Taxi Saver Supplement
service enables the handyDART operator to dispatch trips to
taxi companies to provide additional service at times of high
demand when handyDART cannot accommodate all trip requests.
