Calgary
Transit is easily accessible to people with limited mobility or who
use wheelchairs.
All CTrain
stations and platforms are accessible by ramps and some stations
include elevators. (Whitehorn, Rundle, Marlborough, Franklin,
University, SAIT, and Brentwood) The centre doors on each CTrain car
are marked with a blue light, and a wheelchair decal. The vertical
grab bar entering the car has been modified to allow easy wheelchair
access. Lap belts are provided to guard against the movement of
wheelchairs while the CTrain is in motion.
Low Floor
buses have been integrated into the fleet to make it easier for all
customers to use, including customers who use wheelchairs or who
have difficulty climbing stairs. These buses have a unique low floor
design and are equipped with retractable ramps for your convenience.
There are no steps to climb.
Each low floor
bus is designed to carry 2 customers in wheelchairs. Customers must
be able to maneuver their wheelchair safely and effectively on their
own, and are strongly advised to use the wheelchair restraint system
and lap belts provided. Due to availability, not all trips can be
served by a low floor bus, especially during peak periods. Please
consult the individual route schedule for your route for the bus you
need.
Attendant
cards are available for customers that require an attendant to
accompany them, and allow the attending person to ride free.
Customers may apply for Calgary Transit Attendant Cards by phoning
Access Calgary at 537-7770 and speaking to a Mobility Specialist.
