Transportation

Other Ground Transportation Options All of the Regional Transportation District’s (RTD’s) SkyRide buses are wheelchair accessible and make hourly runs to the airport from various Park-n-Rides around the city. Drivers assist with baggage. [Access-a-Ride is RTD’s ADA complementary paratransit service and is only available for residents. It is a shared-ride service intended for those who cannot use regular fixed-route bus/ light rail service due to a disability.] As for ridesharing services, Uber provides service in Denver through its Uber WAV rides website or through the mobile app. Lyft presently doesn’t list Denver as a city where wheelchair rides are available on its Lyft WAV rides website; however, you can turn on wheelchair access in the mobile app even if wheelchair rides aren’t available in your area to access vehicles that can accommodate non-folding wheelchairs or motorized wheelchairs and scooters. Lyft says that if you can fold or stow your mobility device in a vehicle’s backseat or trunk, you can request any vehicle. See Lyft’s foldable wheelchair policy. The major rental car companies like Avis, Hertz and Enterprise offer special services such as hand controls, spinner knobs and easy-access buses. To ensure availability, the companies suggest making reservations up to three days in advance. Metro Taxi has wheelchair-accessible vehicles and can provide assistance for limited numbers with prior notice and reservation. They also offer tours of the area.
