During the past year, TransLink has been reviewing its custom transit services – door-to-door transit services, such as HandyDART, for people with disabilities – to make the service better for customers and to operate more efficiently.

The goal of the Custom Transit Service Review was to develop a sustainable custom transit model that:

• more effectively meets the transportation needs of people with disabilities
• addresses growing demand
• makes best use of available resources
• keeps pace with custom transit best practices
