At MTM Transit, we’re proud to spotlight the incredible work our Eugene, Oregon team is doing to ensure safe, reliable transportation for all. Recently, our Eugene crew hosted a training session for vehicle operators, focusing on wheelchair securement and adherence to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. This initiative underscores our commitment to excellence in operating the RideSource ADA paratransit program in partnership with Lane Transit District (LTD).
Wheelchair safety is at the heart of what we do. For passengers relying on RideSource—an origin-to-destination service for those unable to use fixed-route buses due to disability—securement isn’t just a technical detail; it’s the foundation of a comfortable and dignified ride. Our operators are trained to master the equipment and techniques that keep passengers safe, from properly securing mobility devices to understanding the nuances of ADA compliance. This ensures every trip aligns with federal standards while prioritizing passenger wellbeing.
The training session brought together operators for hands-on practice and expert guidance, reinforcing best practices and fostering a culture of care. It’s no small task—RideSource serves the Eugene-Springfield metro area, covering a critical need within ¾ miles of LTD’s bus routes. Our team’s dedication shines through in every ride, reflecting MTM Transit’s broader mission to deliver equitable, accessible transportation.
A huge shoutout to Team Eugene for their unwavering commitment! Their efforts not only keep passengers safe but also set a standard for paratransit services nationwide. We’re honored to work alongside LTD, ensuring that every journey—no matter the mobility needs—is a smooth one.
