Special Features & Accessibility
- Reno -
Each RTC
RIDE bus has a front-end "kneeling" feature that lowers
the first step to curb level for easier access by people
who have difficulty climbing stairs. Just ask the driver
to have the bus "kneel" for you.
All buses
are equipped with either front door wheelchair access or
wheelchair lifts located at the rear door of the bus,
which are operated by the bus driver. Passengers in
wheelchairs are loaded first and the driver will assist
in securing your wheelchair. All RTC RIDE buses have two
secured wheelchair areas. A free program is available
for all riders who use mobility devices. The "Secure
Safe" Program identifies key securement points on
various types of mobility aids by marking them with
heavy-duty straps and/or colored tape.
