Accessibility
The Detroit People Mover (DPM) remains committed to providing public transportation that is quick, efficient and most of all, safe for its patrons, including those among the disabled communities.
Wheelchairs & Scooters
The People Mover stations and vehicles also accommodate electric scooters used by patrons with disabilities. We recommend use of the brake system equipped on the scooter, as these types of chairs are not made for our wheelchair securements on each train (manual, non-powered chairs only).
Interior vehicle areas include a retractable seat which draws upward to allow spacing and secure restraint of a manual wheelchair in each train.
Automated Announcements
Automated announcements before arrival and departure at each station assist all passengers, including the visually-impaired.
Leader dogs and service animals are welcome aboard DPM trains with harness or leash required.
Elevators and/or escalators are offered at the People Mover's 13 stations. Grand Circus Park is accessible via elevator. DTC will notify patrons via printed station announcements should any of the remaining stations experience upgrades to its elevators or escalators.
Additional assistance is available by the use of emergency communication systems, which connect directly to the Control Center. Located inside DPM trains, at both levels of the stations or inside elevators, and in combination with visual monitoring, Transit Police 
can dispatched immediately to respond to any incident.

Service Stop or Delay

In the event of an immediate change in operations such as an extended train delay or system closure, audible announcements or instructions will be provided for safe exit from the vehicles or stations.
During a system hold/delay, ADA passengers who are in the stations have the option to exit the station in a calm manner or wait until service resumes. If on board a train during a service delay, passengers may safely exit vehicles only if the train is located at a DPM station with the doors open.
