CapMetro Access

We offer free travel training for seniors and riders with disabilities. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 512-369-6083. View the travel training brochure.

If you have a wheelchair or scooters that are challenging to secure on our vehicles, we offer a free service that provides yellow tethers (nylon loops) or identification tape to easily identify safe securement placement for CapMetro vehicle operators. Trained professionals will evaluate your mobility device to determine the best location to place the tethers or tape.

This service is provided by appointment only. To make an appointment, please contact the Travel Trainers at by calling 512-369-6083 or traveltraining@capmetro.org.

Anyone interested in becoming a certified Access rider must go through an in-person eligibility review. For information about the eligibility process, to request a Access application or to schedule an eligibility review, please contact 512-389-7501 or eligibility@capmetro.org.
