Community Transit sells DART Paratransit tickets and monthly passes for use by DART customers.

DART passes and tickets are:

• Good for face value ($2.25) on all regular Community Transit buses.
• Not accepted by any other transit or paratransit agencies.

Please note: ORCA cards are not accepted on DART buses.

DART will transport customers in mobility devices to the extent possible with our equipment.

• If you use a manual wheelchair, please bring a Personal Care Attendant (PCA) if you need help over rough terrain or steep slopes. Also bring a PCA if the combined weight of you and your manual chair is more than 350 pounds. These conditions can be a safety hazard to you, the driver and the vehicle.
• Currently, the combined weight of user, mobility device and all belongings and accessories cannot exceed 800 pounds. Your mobility device must not extend into the aisle after being secured. We encourage you to back your devices onto the lift when loading, as this will facilitate a more successful boarding. We will do our best to serve you.
• Call DART at 425-347-5912 or 800-562-1381 if you have an oversized mobility device or if you have concerns about your device being compatible with the lift or DART vehicle. Let us know if you change your mobility device at any time.
• If you use a mobility device and you have steps at your residence or destination, arrange for someone to help you up and down the steps.
• If you use a power scooter, it is safer for you to sit in a bus seat while riding on the vehicle. We will help you to a seat and then make sure your scooter is secured.
• Drivers will not push power chairs or scooters.

Visitors who reside outside of the Puget Sound region and are certified as “ADA paratransit eligible” by another transit provider are granted 21 days (out of any 365-day period) of paratransit service. 

Individuals not certified by another transit provider and claiming presumptive eligibility could require an eligibility determination by DART.

If you are visiting the Puget Sound region and have a disability that prevents you from using Community Transit’s fixed route bus system, please contact DART as part of your travel plans so we can help make your visit a pleasant one!
