Wheeling: The Wheels on the Bus

paratransit busUsing active transportation to wheel yourself around town can be a chore sometimes.  Maybe your destination is too far or there is simply not a safe route.  That is where the Columbia Transit System can make getting from one place to another a breeze.

All Columbia Transit Busses are equipped with wheelchair lifts and places to secure a wheelchair while the bus is in motion.

Here’s how to make it work for you:

  1. Familiarize yourself with the bus schedule
  2. Learn some useful destinations on the routes.
