MetroAccess
MetroAccess is a demand-response, shared-ride service for people whose disabilities prevent them from riding our other bus and rail services. MetroAccess service complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). The term "paratransit" in this section refers to transit that is parallel in service to fixed-route bus service. Our ADA corridor maps can be found here.
As defined by the ADA, a disability is recognized, with respect to an individual, as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. Anyone who, by reason of disability, is unable to use Capital Metro's fully accessible bus and rail services may be eligible for MetroAccess Service.
To file an ADA or accessibility complaint regarding Capital Metro's programs or services, please use the online customer comment form, contact the Customer Service Go Line at 512-474-1200 or do so in person at Capital Metro's Transit Store located at 209 West 9th St. Comments will be logged, investigated and responded to.
We offer free travel training for seniors and riders with disabilities. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 512-369-6083. View the travel training brochure.
If you have a wheelchair or scooters that are challenging to secure on our vehicles, we offer a free service that provides yellow tethers (nylon loops) or identification tape to easily identify safe securement placement for Capital Metro vehicle operators. Trained professionals will evaluate your mobility device to determine the best location to place the tethers or tape.
This service is provided by appointment only. To make an appointment, please contact the Travel Trainers at by calling 512-369-6083 or traveltraining@capmetro.org.
