To meet the special needs of persons with disabilities and to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, MTU, operates lift-equipped buses on its regular fixed route system. It also provides ADA Paratransit Service. Disabled persons who, by reason of their disability cannot get to a bus stop from their home, from the bus stop to their destination, or who require more assistance in using transit service than that provided by a driver operating a ramp or lift-equipped MTU bus, may qualify for ADA Paratransit Service. This service operates on a "demand response" basis with advance reservations made the day before transportation is needed. MTU contracts with a private provider to operate this service, which is available during the same hours and days as bus schedule.

Only those persons specifically certified by reason of their disability may use this service. Call the MTU office at (608) 789-7350 for more information on ADA Paratransit Service or to request an application form for certification.

Visitor status of 21 days is conveyed onto any individual that presents proof or Paratransit Eligibility from another jurisdiction or upon their proof of inability to utilize the fixed route system along with proof of residence.

Additional improvements will continue to be made to further improve transit service for the disabled.
