Buses

- All buses in the Lafayette Transit fleet are ADA accessible.
- Most buses kneel or lower to make it easier to get on and off the bus.
- All buses have accessibility signs, including the International Symbol of Accessibility and kneeling bus signage.
- Priority seating for people with disabilities and senior citizens is located in the seats directly behind the bus operator.
- 100 percent of the buses in Lafayette Transit's fleet have audio stop announcements that identify major intersections and transfer points. There is also a visual display.

Lifts and Floor Ramps |
- All buses either have a low floor ramp or are lift-equipped.
- All new buses that LTS purchases are low floor ramp buses. As these new buses arrive, older lift-equipped buses are phased out.
- The ramps on low floor buses can be manually operated if the hydraulic system fails, for 100% reliability.

Wheelchairs |
- Two wheelchair securement areas are located near the front of each bus and include tie downs and lap belts for safety.
- The wheelchair securement areas also feature an accessible yellow button so a customer can alert the bus operator that the bus is approaching his or her stop.

Lafayette Transit also operates a paratransit service for those that can't use the regular bus.
