Monona Lift

MononaTransit_Lift_Banner

Designed to meet the needs of the elderly and disabled as well as the general public, anyone can ride the handicapped-accessible Monona Lift bus on its six scheduled daily loops (four through Monona and downtown Madison, and two within Monona). If notified in advance, First Transit, the provider of transit services to Monona, will pick up those who can’t make it to a Monona Lift stop but can make it to a spot on the route. Elderly or disabled riders with special needs can prearrange to be picked up or dropped off within one-half mile of the route as it makes its regular journeys.

In addition, frail elderly may also request use of the Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) by calling (608) 238-7787.
