Residents of Hamilton County who are unable to ride Metro's fixed route service because of physical or mental disability have the option of riding Access, Metro's paratransit service.

ADA was passed to remove the physical barriers that prevent people with disabilities from fully participating in a mobile society.
The ADA states that Metro's regular bus service should be the primary means of public transportation for everyone, including people with disabilities. But under the ADA, Access serves as a safety-net for people who do not have the functional capability to ride Metro buses. Access' service area and hours of operation are based on regular Metro
service. Access users must live within 3/4 of a mile of regular Metro
service. Free training is also available for Access customers who want
learn how to ride Metro buses.
NOTE: Disability alone does not qualify a person to ride Access under the ADA.
