14 take inaugural ride on CART’s Little Axe route By Julianna Parker“This would not have been possible without the hard work of each and every driver,” Van Cleve said.
What makes the feat even more impressive is the service encompasses all 191 square miles of Norman and it still achieved a 100 percent on-time performance rating, meaning even with increased capacity riders were not late to their destinations, according to a CART press release. CARTaccess typically transports 140 passengers daily. When the service began more than 20 years ago it averaged about 30 riders each day. Those eligible for CARTaccess must meet specific Americans with Disabilities Act criteria and complete an application process that includes physician feedback. Approved patrons then schedule rides from an origin to a destination by calling, e-mailing or using the CART Web site. All CARTaccess vehicles are lift-equipped to accommodate mobility devices such as wheelchairs, walkers and all drivers are trained in transporting those with disabilities. The fare for CARTaccess service within 3/4 of a mile of an existing CART bus route is $1 per ride, while anything exceeding that boundary is $2.50. CARTaccess operates Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information on CART or CARTaccess, visit www.ridecart.com or call 325-CART.
