Accessible Raleigh Transportation Program (ART)

If you are a Raleigh resident with a physical or mental disability that makes it impossible to drive a car and/or use CAT, you may qualify for the Accessible Raleigh Transportation Program (ART).

This program provides subsidized curb-to-curb transportation service through participating taxi companies and van service within Raleigh's city limits. The program is funded and administered by the City of Raleigh.
