ADA ELIGIBILITY STANDARDS

The following conditions must exist for an individual to be considered eligible for Citilink Access:

(1) Any individual with a disability who is unable as a result of a physical or mental impairment (including a vision impairment) and without the assistance of another individual (except the operator of a wheelchair lift or other boarding assistance device), to board, ride, or disembark from any vehicle on the system which is readily accessible to and usable to individuals with disabilities. Interpretation: Any individual with a physical, mental, or visual impairment who cannot because of that impairment board, ride, or disembark from an accessible bus.

2) Any individual with a disability who needs the assistance of a wheelchair lift or other boarding assistance device and is able, with such assistance, to board, ride, or disembark from any vehicle which is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities if the individual wants to travel on a route on the system during the hours of operation of the system at a time, or within a reasonable-period of such time, when such a vehicle is not being used to provide designated public transportation on the route. Interpretation: Any individual able to use an accessible bus but an accessible vehicle is not available. This will be a transition category until the transit system is fully accessible.

(3) Any individual with a disability who has a specific impairment-related condition which prevents such individual from traveling to a boarding location or from a disembarking location on such a system. Interpretation: Any individual because of an impairment related condition is unable to get to the bus stop.
