Rabun Transit will provide mobility device accommodation provided the device does not exceed the lift capabilities in length and width and the weight of the chair, when occupied, does not exceed the manufacturer's specified weight limit.

The bus operator will assist individuals in safely boarding and exiting from the vehicles. The bus operator will also assist with the proper securement of patrons with mobility devices. Individuals with mobility impairments who need special assistance in navigating to and from the vehicle should have a personal care attendant (PCA) ride with them. When the scheduler is notified, the PCA may ride for free.

Individuals requesting modifications to Rabun Transit service shall contact the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Facility Representative and describe what they need in order to use the service.
