TARTA’s Paratransit Division Earns Certified Autism Center™ Designation

As its next step in making certain that the great things about northwest Ohio are accessible to everyone, the Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority’s (TARTA) paratransit division has become the first transit agency department in Ohio to become a Certified Autism Center™.  

The designation was granted by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) after TARTA paratransit staff had undergone a specific training course to better understand and accommodate the needs of autistic and sensory-sensitive passengers.  

TARTA’s efforts in this area are part of a larger vision led by Destination Toledo, which seeks to establish Toledo as a Certified Autism Destination™ as recognized by the IBCCES.  

Public transportation is a vital lifeline to the community for those with mobility challenges, and fulfilling our mission means doing everything we can to make sure that everyone can enjoy the great things that northwest Ohio has to offer...Autistic and sensory-sensitive passengers deserve to be able to reach their destination with a ride that makes them feel valued and welcome. That’s what we focused on with this training and will work to continue to improve on.

Rick Bailey - TARTA’s Chief Customer Experience and Mobility Officer

Other Toledo area institutions that have earned this designation include Eugene F. Kranz Toledo Express Airport, Toledo Museum of Art, National Museum of the Great Lakes, Huntington Center, Glass City Center, Toledo Speedway BMX, the Sylvania Chamber of Commerce and the Valentine Theatre, among others. Several other area organizations are going through the course or plan to take it.  

The initiative shown by TARTA’s paratransit operations sets a benchmark in the transportation sector for inclusivity and understanding...Our certification programs are designed to empower organizations to create welcoming environments for all patrons. The dedication the division has shown is not only admirable, but also is a significant stride towards the inclusive Certified Autism Destination goal set by the Toledo community.

Myron Pincomb - board chairman of IBCCES

For more than 20 years, IBCCES has been the leader in cognitive disorder training and certification for healthcare, education and corporate professionals around the globe. IBCCES also created AutismTravel.com as a free online resource for parents, listing locations that have met Certified Autism Center requirements. 


TARTA has been a source of mobility for communities, businesses and citizens of northwest Ohio since 1971. TARTA strives to empower people to make connections, covering more than 300 square miles with fixed-route, paratransit, and TARTA Flex on-demand services.
