ADA Customers Ride Free on Palm Tran |
Palm Tran in West Palm Beach, FL, has introduced a policy that permits Americans with Disabilities Act-eligible customers of Palm Tran Connection paratransit to ride the system’s fixed route buses at no charge. Previously, ADA customers paid a half fare on fixed routes.
To make boarding easier, more accessible, and more customer-friendly for riders with disabilities, Palm Tran is modifying its buses to create one semi-permanent position for non-ambulatory customers in the front. This will provide an open area for customers using a wheelchair or scooter. The agency has also affixed new stickers in each bus near the other front seats, stressing the importance of offering these seats to people who have a greater need for the seat or the space. |
