Accessible Vehicles
ETS has a 100% Accessible Fleet
ETS is committed to providing a fully accessible public transit system in accordance with City Council and The Way We Move (The Transportation Master Plan).
Our bus fleet is accessible, using low-floor technology. This includes regular sized buses, articulated ('bendy') buses and smaller community buses. Our LRT network is also 100% accessible.
The combination of low-floor buses and LRT ensures that customers with mobility challenges have access to all areas of ETS. We lead the way in advancing accessible public transit in Alberta, and were one of the first transit properties in Canada to adopt the low floor accessible bus type in our fleet.
ETS low floor buses do not have stairs at the entrance/exit doors, providing easier access for customers. In addition, the buses have a kneeling feature, which can lower the front entrance of the bus by four inches, bringing it closer to the sidewalk, and a ramp, which folds out onto the sidewalk to provide a nearly flat entry onto the bus. These features are available for use by any of our customers.
Light Rail Transit (LRT) is designed to board passengers directly from the station platform. A self-adjusting ramp can be deployed by customers to help negotiate any difference in vertical height between the platform and the train car.
