Public transit
access improved

PUBLIC TRANSIT Will be more accessible to bus riders with
physical disabilities following a recent decision by the BC Transit
board of directors.

New buses ordered by BC Transit will come equipped with
wheelchair lifts. And due to a policy revision, people riding in
three-witeeled motorized scooters, can now travel on the . han-
dyDART service.

BC Transit is in the process of buying approximately 70 new
diesel buses for use in the Vancouver region. The buses, slated for
delivery early next year, will be the first to be equipped with
wheelchair lifts in the transit system.

Three-wheeled motorized scooter users have had access to han-
dyDART since the beginning of July.

The scooter users witt be able to ride handyDART for a 15-
month test period. During that period, transit officials will be tak-
ing measures to strike a balance between transporting people safely
and providing mobility for people with disabilities.

BC Transit has budgeted $50,000 to conduct crash tests, consider
possible securement adjustments and discuss design specifications
with scooter manufacturers.
