When does StamFORWARD operate?

StamFORWARD operates 6:00 am to 8:00 pm 7 days a week, as well as on holidays.

How do the accessible vans work?

The wheelchair accessible vans use rear lowering wheelchair ramps. These vans are the best fit for riders with wheelchairs, scooters or other rolling mobility devices. The vans can accommodate multiple riders but only one rolling passenger at a time. Riders with canes, walkers, non-rolling mobility devices or other mobility difficulties but who do not roll may be better suited by the regular vans which are lower to the ground and easier to step into. All vans have step stools which can be accessed by asking a driver for assistance on their arrival.
