• Passengers using oxygen must have portable oxygen tanks that they can carry onto the vehicle.
• For passengers using wheelchairs, oxygen tanks must be securely attached to the wheelchair.
• Once onboard, portable oxygen tanks must be stored in a secure location, such as:
  • On the passenger’s lap
  • On the floor in front of the passenger between the seats
  • On the floor behind the modesty panel
• Child restraints must be used while in a stroller onboard.
• Strollers, small grocery carts, and walkers must be able to fit in a wheelchair secured area out of the aisle.
• Passengers may bring up to the equivalent of four grocery bags, and must be able to carry them independently.
• Large items, including furniture or similar bulky objects, are not permitted.
• Textile items must be in secure bags (blankets, clothing, bedding, etc.).
• In the event of extreme weather conditions that make travel unsafe, GET may cancel service. Service cancellations are made public through local media, Facebook, Twitter, Route shout, and the City of Greeley website.
