Public transportation is available to the general public and may be provided by bus, train, or subway. Other public transportation options might address long-distance transportation needs (inter-city) or commuter transportation such as ride sharing.
Public transportation law requires public transportation agencies that receive FTA funding under Section 5307 Urbanized Area Formula Program to offer half fare or reduced fare to people with disabilities and seniors during off-peak hours for fixed-route services.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) applies to both public and private ground transportation providers. The ADA rules that apply to transportation are regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
