Mountain Line Accessibility

"Mountain Line’s fixed route service 100% accessible for mobility devices. All of Mountain Line’s fixed route buses are lift or ramp equipped eliminating the need to climb stairs to board the bus. Operators are trained to assist in securing mobility devices, (wheelchairs and scooters), and are required to make stop announcements, helping to make using the fixed route bus service possible for many people with disabilities. People with disabilities who are able to use the fixed route bus service are encouraged to do so whenever possible. Mountain Line also operates ADA comparable paratransit service and a senior van service for eligible passengers. Use of these services is dependent upon meeting eligibility requirements. Paratransit and senior van services must be scheduled in advance. For more information, view our ADA Paratransit & Senior Van Riders Guide (PDF) or call (406) 721-2848. Following is a description of what services are available: ADA Paratransit: This is a curb to curb service, limited to individuals meeting the strict legal and medical requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Hours of operation are 6:15 AM to 8:00 PM Monday through Friday and from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM on Saturdays. To be eligible for this level of service, your disability and barriers must prevent you from using the fixed route bus service.

Senior Van: The Senior Van service provides transportation for seniors and to persons with disabilities who do not qualify for ADA Paratransit Service. This is also a reservation service, but the hours of operation are limited to Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. This service is available on a first come, first served basis. Just like ADA Paratransit, trips must be prescheduled at least 24 hours in advance. This service can be used by individuals who do not qualify for ADA Paratransit but still feel they need curb to curb service and by those who are limited to seasonal eligibility for ADA Paratransit.
