Disability Access

BUS SERVICE

The Town of Ocean City is pleased to provide special bus service on the new handicap accessible Mini-buses. These buses have a seating capacity of 13 ambulatory and 2 wheelchair placements. Total funding for these vehicles was through an Americans with Disabilities Act or ADA Grant and replaced two older vans with half the capacity.

We offer "special pickups" with 24 hour advance notice. To schedule a pickup please call 410-723-1606.  Transportation Department hours of operations are 7 am to 4 pm daily until May 1.   Residents interested in using ADA-Paratransit services from 4 pm to 11 pm can call 410-723-1160. The call will be automatically forwarded to the van operator.  For more information on our ADA service or if you would like additional information on the Mini-Buses, please contact the Transportation Department at 410-723-1606
