What are the hours and days of ADA service?
SMART provides ADA service during the same days and hours that the fixed route system is in operation. If a person can travel to a destination using the fixed route at a certain time of day, an ADA eligible person is also able to travel to the same destination using ADA service. Likewise, if a person cannot travel to a destination using the fixed route at a certain time of day, SMART is unable to provide ADA service.
