Go Metro to check out the Abilities Expo on Feb. 21 through 23 and learn about the products and services available for the community of people with disabilities, their families, caregivers, seniors and healthcare professionals. Metro is participating at the expo with an information booth. Bus operators will be there to meet people and answer questions, and wheelchair experts will be available to attach straps and pre-mark wheelchairs for bus securement — free of charge.
The Abilities Expo takes place in West Hall A of the L.A. Convention Center. Hours are:
- Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Abilities Expo is free to the public, but registration is required at the door. To get to the convention center, take the Metro A Line (Blue) or E Line (Expo) to Pico Station or the J Line (Silver) to Figueroa/Pico. Check our Trip Planner for more routes and connections.
All of Metro’s buses and trains are accessible and ADA-compliant; Metro currently boards more than 100,000 passengers using wheelchairs per month — the most in the nation. Metro also offers reduced fares to passengers with disabilities, and riders with current Access Service ID cards may ride Metro Bus and Rail at no cost.

What is a word ADA Means?
Hi Roy;
It means Americans With Disabilities Act and is commonly used as a way of saying that facilities are accessible as per federal requirements.
