Accessibility

 

RTEC offers wheelchair accessible vehicles in over 75% of the bus fleet. Our accessible buses and vans come with a wheelchair lift or ramp to accommodate wheelchairs. 

​

RTEC drivers are trained and certified in providing passenger assistance on boarding and unloading from the vehicle. Passenger assistance may include guiding the passenger to and from the vehicle, lend a steady arm for passenger balance, finding a seat, and securing a wheelchair.

RTEC requires the personal care attendant to provide an appropriate car seat for each child that requires a car seat.   The proper use and installation of the Child Safety Restraint Seat is fully the responsibility of the accompanying adult.   The selections and utilization of a Child Safety Restraint Seat must follow KY State and Federal Guidelines.   A ride will not be provided for anyone violating this policy. Infant/Toddler seats may not be left on RTEC vehicles.   Each one-way trip will require the car seat to be removed upon exit and secured upon entry.
