Can I bring my bike?

Yes. With ART, you can bring your bike right onto the bus. Before boarding, make sure there is room on board. If the racks are full but there is adequate room, you may stand with your bike during the trip. Always enter through the back door with your bike. If there is not enough room available on board, you may be asked to wait for the next bus.

Is ART accessible?

Passengers using wheelchairs can choose to ride in either a forward-facing or rear-facing self-securing wheelchair space. There are Braille "Stop Requested" buttons on the bus and Braille information located on the ticket vending machines. Additionally, audio and vibratory signals will also be at pedestrian crossings.

Where can I park to ride ART?
