The STM Personal Aide Transit Pass
For an easier access to the bus and metro system

In cooperation with community bodies, the Société de transport de Montréal (STM), the Office des personnes handicapées du Québec (OPHQ), the R�gie r�gionale de la sant� et des services sociaux de Montréal-Centre and Montreal's rehabilitation centers for intellectually or a visually impaired people, make it possible to obtain a free Personal Aide Transit Pass.

Who can apply to receive the Personal Aide Transit Pass?
Any person with an intellectual or a visual impairment and whose functional limitations justify the need to be accompanied while using the regular public transit system, whether he or she experiences difficulties such as:

• Disorientation in time;
• Disorientation in place;
• Related to personal safety.

While in your company, your personal aide will have free access to buses and metro services throughout the STM system.

How to apply?

To receive the Personal Aide Transit Pass, fill out part 1 and part 2 of the appropriate application form, join a photograph of yourself and forward it to any of the rehabilitation centres identified on the form.

At the chosen Centre, an health professional will complete part 3 of the application and forward it to the STM. A Personal Aide Transit Pass will then be issued and sent to you.

How much does it cost?

The Personal Aide Transit Pass is  free of charge. Through this program, the STM hopes to facilitate the use of its regular transit system for people with a mobility impairment.

What are the conditions of use?

As a holder of a Personal Aide Transit Pass, you agree:

• to show the pass when boarding an STM vehicle or entering a metro station;
• to inform the STM of any change of address;
• to inform immediately the STM if the pass is destroyed, stolen or lost;
• not to let anyone else use the Pass;
• to return immediately the Pass to the STM if unused.
