Stroller Policy

A child may remain in the stroller to board and ride on the bus, if the stroller:

  • Collapses.
  • Is equipped with brakes, which must be locked.
  • Does not block aisles, doors, steps, or emergency exits.
  • Is controlled by an adult in a space designated for mobility device at all times.

If the mobility device spaces are occupied, or at any time during the trip need to be occupied by a passenger using a mobility device, the parent or guardian must remove the child and fold the stroller. Children with special needs may remain in a stroller secured in the mobility device position.

After using, please put the seat down.

For safety reasons, we recommend that riders with children in strollers back them down the ramp when exiting the bus.
