The document describes the implementation and operation of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority's fixed-route, subscription service for handicapped individuals. It is based on a site visit and discussions with several individuals in the Atlanta area. Operational characteristics including the early months of service are presented, as well as pictures/charts depicting the MARTA L-BUS vehicle, floor layout, lift design, lift operation, safety features, wheelchair securement, and problem areas. The subscription service, initiated in May 1977, began with a single bus operating three daily routes and has grown to seven buses operating 27 daily and two weekly routes. The buses are all lift equipped and most have 4 wheelchair positions and seventeen seats. As of May 1978, ridership has increased from 41 to 270 passenger trips per week.
