Policies

Strollers

For everyone's safety, children must be removed from strollers when riding the bus.

Your child can remain in the stroller while you're getting on or off the bus.

When possible, strollers should be folded and stowed beneath or between the seats. If your stroller does not fit beneath or between the seats, you can secure it in the wheelchair securement area. Keep in mind that people in wheelchairs always have priority in this area.​


Pets and Service Animals

Service animals are welcome on all WTA buses.

Pets may also ride, however unlike service animals, pets must be secured in an approved pet carrier.
