Trip Planner Tips - Accessibility Options
What’s included:
When you specify an accessible trip or ask for closest stops, service,
or schedule information at a location, your results include:
- Buses and Sounder trains that are either lift-equipped or low-floor
with a ramp; and
- Stops that meet federal operational standards for lift or ramp
deployment.
What’s not included:
Accessible trip plans and location information from the Trip Planner do
not include details on accessibility features (such as curb ramps)
or obstacles (such as steep hills)
for the path of travel between the bus stop and your origin or destination.
For trip plans that include transfers, the Trip
Planner does not have such information for the path of travel between
bus stops used in the transfer. At major transit facilities, such as
Transit Centers, the path between stops is accessible.
Lift or ramp clearance at stops:
Clicking on the name of any bus
stop included in your trip brings up detailed information about the
stop. For Pierce County stops, a stop described as "Fully accessible" has
at least four feet of clearance. If the lift or ramp can't be deployed,
the stop is shown as "not
accessible."
Who can use a lift or ramp:
Anyone can ask to use the lift or ramp. You do not have to use a wheelchair,
scooter, or other mobility aid to use the lift or ramp.
