Boarding for People with Disabilities

In accordance with the Department of Transportation's Americans with Disabilities Act (DOT ADA) Key Station rules, the following ten Metrorail stations are readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, including those who use wheelchairs:

• Dadeland South
• Dadeland North
• South Miami
• Douglas Road
• Brickell
• Government Center
• Civic Center
• Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Plaza
• Tri-Rail
• Okeechobee

A Public Address System (PAS) announces the Metrorail direction of travel; a female voice announces the northbound train, and a male voice announces the southbound train.  Train Operators announce the next station both when leaving from a station where a stop has just been made and then again while approaching the next station.

The tactile tiles alert customers who are blind and visually impaired that they are getting close to the platform edge. For direct access to the reserved wheelchair space, enter a train car through the first set of doors. Other passengers with disabilities and senior citizens will find seats reserved for them next to every door.

Priority Seating:  Two seats next to every door rail car are designated as priority seats for persons with disabilities and senior citizens.  Federal law requires that operators request other passengers to vacate priority seating when needed.  DO NOT sit in these areas unless you are elderly or are a person with a disability.

Call Buttons

Every Metrorail car has three call buttons, which are located at the wheelchair space next to the first set of doors, next to the clear plastic panels, and next to the second and third set of doors. Call buttons may be used to alert the operator when you need additional time to leave the train. Call the operator several stations before you are ready to exit the train. You may also use the call buttons in case of an emergency.

Safety in Rail Stations

Seats in the front of the bus directly behind the operator and next to the door are reserved for persons using wheelchairs, persons with ambulatory disabilities and senior citizens.

Priority Seating Areas:  The front seats facing the front of the bus are designated as Priority Seating Areas for persons with disabilities and senior citizens.  DO NOT sit in these areas unless you are elderly or are a person with a disability.
