The Prince Rupert / Port Edward Transit System offers three
types of accessible transit service: Fixed-route service, handyDART
service and the Taxi Saver Program. Click
here to view a PDF of the Transit Options brochure, which
describes each service in detail.
On the Prince Rupert Transit System a fleet of
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.
For those times when the handyDART system is unavailable, the
Taxi Saver Program provides registered
handyDART passengers (16 years and older) with subsidized taxi
service, giving them the flexibility to coordinate their own
trips.
