RiverCities LIFT
(360) 442-5667
RiverCities LIFT is a curb to curb public transportation service for those persons whose disability limits their ability to ride the fixed-route independently. LIFT is a safety net for people who cannot use the Fixed Route service by themselves because of a disability.
RiverCities has worked hard to make our Fixed Route accessible. It is intended to be the main mode of public transportation for everyone in Longview and Kelso, including people with disabilities. All Fixed Route buses are wheelchair accessible with ramps or lifts, securement areas, and both visible and audible stop announcements.
