Access-a-Ride provides local bus transportation in the Denver metro area for people with disabilities, helping individuals who cannot access the fixed-route bus and light rail system to maintain the individual’s freedom to travel around the metro area. To travel on Access-a-Ride, a person must meet one of the following criteria:
1. Be unable to get to and from a bus stop or on and off a lift-equipped bus by yourself
2. Have a cognitive disability that prohibits your understanding of how to complete bus trips
As part of the certification process, the individual must complete a functional evaluation in person and provide a physician's statement to verify disability. All applicants must qualify for certification under the guidelines established by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Once approved, the individual will receive a photo ID card, which must be shown to the driver at each boarding.
Personal attendants, aides and trainers accompanying passengers who have a disability are permitted to ride for free.
