Service Animals
Santa Ynez Valley Transit adheres to the guidelines set in place by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as it pertains to service animals, which are defined by the ADA as “any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability, including, but not limited to guiding individuals with impaired vision, alerting individuals with impaired hearing to intruders or sounds, providing minimal protection or rescue work, pulling a wheelchair, or fetching dropped items.” Individuals may be accompanied by service animals free of charge if the animal's purpose is more than emotional support, and may be asked to describe the animal’s role. It is not permissible, however, to ask the nature of an individual's disability or request a special ID for the animal.
