Annual ridership has steadily increased on both the bus and light rail systems from 14 million passengers in 1987 to more than 31 million passengers in FY 2006. Weekday light rail ridership averages about 50,000, which accounts for approximately 40% of the total system ridership. Bus weekday ridership has reached an average of 58,000 passengers per day. RT's entire bus and light rail system is accessible to the disabled community. Also, RT provides a door-to-door transportation service (in accordance with its responsibilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act) for Sacramento area residents who are unable to use fixed-route service. RT provides this service through a contract with Paratransit, Incorporated, and paratransit ridership has more than doubled since 1993. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
