Accessible Services

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.
