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.

Bus AccessibilityDiscounted 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:

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.
