Community Transit Service

Introduction

Community Transit Service transportation services were developed to provide safe and efficient transportation to the general public and to persons with special needs as specified by Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and as defined by contracts into which Community Transit Service may enter from time to time.

Our buses have low floors so your first step on board can be easier, equipped with a wheelchair lift or ramp. Our operators are trained to assist people with disabilities in boarding and securing their wheelchairs on the bus. By federal law, our operators announce major transfer points, intersections and destination points along each route.
