The Accessibility of ART
November 29, 2017
Arlington Transit – ART strives to make riding the bus easy for everybody.
All ART buses:
- Are fully accessible with wheelchair ramps and the ability to lower or kneel
- Have two wheelchair securement areas, and priority seating for senior citizens and people with disabilities, near the front.
- Announce all bus stops audibly and visually using an interior display and automated stop announcement system.
Discounted fares for senior citizens and people with disabilities are available. All ART bus rides are free with a MetroAccess photo ID card. With a Senior SmarTrip card, senior citizens can ride ART for $1.00 (half-price).
Arlington County also offers several programs to help senior citizens and people with disabilities get around, including:
- Specialized Transit for Arlington Residents (STAR) is Arlington's pre-arranged reserved trip service for persons with disabilities.
- Senior Center Adult Transportation (SCAT) is a pre-arranged shared-ride service transporting Arlington seniors between home and a Senior Center in their area.
- Super Senior Taxi (SST) is a subsidized transportation program for Arlington County residents 70 years of age and over.
- The ENDependence Center of Northern Virginia provides a free transit-training program for people with disabilities.
The Senior Transportation Brochure (PDF) has information about additional programs offered in Arlington.
Riding ART is an easy way to get around Arlington without a car and the hassle of parking.
