The AppalCART fleet includes intown buses with wheelchair lifts and newer “talking”, “low floor” buses to better serve persons with disabilities. If these buses do not satisfy your needs or you are unable to reach the AppalCART bus stop please ask about our paratransit service.

 

In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), AppalCART provides paratransit service to those eligible passengers who are unable to ride our intown bus routes serving the general public in Boone. Paratransit operates only during the times and in the areas served the regular intown route bus. It does not travel in other areas or at times that the intown bus routes do not operate. (Other services may be available to fill those needs).

 

If you qualify for paratransit service you must complete an application and receive certification. Please allow several weeks for this process to be completed when making your transportation plans. Paratransit rides will only require a days notice after you receive certification.

 

Costs: There is no “fee” to become certified. After certification, no fee to ride.
