Americans with Disabilities Act

FMCTA is pleased to provide transportation for all the area’s citizens, including those with disabilities. To accomplish this goal, FMCTA operates three types of service:

  • Accessible fixed-route bus service.
  • ADA complementary para-transit service.
  • Dial-A-Ride service

FMCTA’s fixed- route buses are lift equipped so they are accessible for people who use mobility device or cannot climb stairs. Our drivers receive special training in assisting people with disabilities. Drivers announce stops at key destinations and upon request to assist passengers with visual or mental impairments.

FMCTA’s ADA complementary para-transit service provides comparable service to our regular fixed-route service for citizens whose disabling conditions prevent their use of the regular bus service. The service is provided according to the guidelines set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act 1990 (ADA) and as outlined in this handbook. Persons who use this service must be certified as ADA complementary para-transit eligible. A person must be eligible for all or some of their trip needs.
