ADA Eligibility Worksheet

This worksheet is for your own use. It will help you understand ADA eligibility and determine if MetroAccess is the appropriate service for you. As explained in What is ADA? What is MetroAccess? The ADA law states that ADA eligibility is given to people whose disabilities prevent use of regular accessible fixed-route transit services: an individual's disabilities must be so significant that the individual is not able to use fixed-route transit service.

Read the 5 questions on the left side of the worksheet and then check your answers on the right side. Your answers will help you determine if MetroAccess might be appropriate for you.
