Making All Bus Stops Accessible 

We are working through a 3-year plan that includes the redevelopment of all bus stops in the city. Once completed, all stops will be fully accessible. Depending on the location and nature of the stop, redevelopments will include features such as:

• concrete pads for sidewalk and boarding access

• updated signage

• shelters

• benches

• tactile plates to indicate dropped curbs

The Mobility Bus

Belleville Transit also operates an on-demand, door-to-door public transit service called the Mobility Bus.

To use this service you must be a person with a disability and complete an application form with Belleville Transit. Visit our Mobility Bus web page for more information.
