Accessible fixed routeYouTube Uploaded on Sep 14, 2011
WCIU Feature: Pace Route 572 and ADA Accessibility
As mentioned above, Pace's fixed route system is entirely accessible to people with disabilities. For senior citizens and people with disabilities, fixed route is less expensive than paratransit and gives people the freedom to travel without arranging a ride in advance. In fact, for those seniors and people with disabilities who are enrolled in Circuit Breaker, fixed route trips are free! Visit the Circuit Breaker website for instructions in how to enroll in Circuit Breaker.
The Regional Transportation Authority offers a training program for those who wish to learn how to ride fixed route.
