People travelling with support person(s) need assistance with mobility, communication, accessibility, personal or medical care during trips. Some examples of a support person are personal support worker, a volunteer, a family member, or a friend. A registered OWLS client cannot act as an attendant. If you are in need of a support person, please have the support person fill out "Section E: Support Person Application" of the Ridership Application. |

A companion can come with them as long as another person with a disability does not need the seat that the companion would occupy.
