handyDART and Taxi Vouchers
A door-to-door transportation service for persons who have a physical or cognitive
limitation, where the person is unable to use conventional transit service without
assistance. A door-to-door taxi pass is available for people with disabilities on the
days when the handyDART is not available. This service is not accessible for
those who cannot transfer from a wheelchair into a taxi.
Special Transportation Subsidy (STS) is provided to those who receive disability
assistance and who live in areas where the Bus Pass program is available, but are
unable to use public transportation due to their disability or because it would make
their disability worse.
Available to all registered clients on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays between
8:30am and 4:00pm and provided by a fully accessible vehicle equipped with a
wheelchair lift. To book a trip with handyDART, call 250-837-3888.
