The Regional Transit Authority (RTA) provides public transit within Orleans Parish and the City of Kenner in Jefferson Parish. Buses that are accessible to clients with disabilities serve all regularly scheduled routes.
RTA fixed-route buses are accessible to persons with disabilities. Features such as kneeling capability, lifts, wheelchair securement areas and priority seating areas, ensure equal access on fixed route buses. Our buses are equipped with a kneeling feature that allows the vehicles to be lowered for easier access for ambulatory riders with disabilities, or those using assisting devices such as walkers, canes and crutches. To use the kneeling feature or the lift assist, please ask the operator to deploy one of these devices.
In addition to the mechanical devices, fixed routes provide the flexibility to travel at any time during RTA’s regular hours of operation without first having to make a reservation. By utilizing the RTA Discounted Fare Program, senior citizens and persons with disabilities who use fixed-route service also enjoy a monetary incentive—the fare is only 40 cents and transfers are free. Customers must pay with exact cash, ticket, or token. To get your discount if you are a senior, show the driver your RTA Senior Citizen ID card or Medicare card and a picture ID.
