[H2] P-8 Service
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, commuter rail systems are not required to operate complementary paratransit service. Accordingly, Metra does not operate such a system. However, Metra does provide what is called P-8 service (short for paragraph 8 of the Jones II Consent Decree).P-8 is a shuttle service from a qualified origin to the next accessible station. Metra provides the service at no charge to the passenger and does not require certification of disability status. Reservations may be made any time the day before the ride is needed or with as little as three hours’ notice when necessary.If someone who ordinarily rides from a non-accessible station were to break a leg, for example, he or she could use the service during recuperation without going through a formal certification process.P-8 connections are guaranteed – that is, if you miss the train because the ride is late, and another train is not available right away, the driver will take you to your destination station. In the unusual event the train is late, the driver will wait until it arrives.
[H3] What are the Rules for P-8?
There are some rules governing the use of P-8 service. To qualify for the service:The origin or destination must be within ½-mile of a non-accessible Metra station. This is called the qualifying station.Travel is allowed only to or from the next accessible station of the same line.If an accessible bus or train operated within ½-mile of qualifying station to or from the next accessible Metra station, the trip is not eligible.P-8 service exists temporarily and only to provide transportation for persons with disabilities to the next accessible station. It is not a paratransit service. Those who need paratransit should contact the RTA at (312) 663-HELP.As Metra stations, Pace and CTA buses, and CTA stations become accessible, fewer P-8 trips will be eligible.Please see the following for examples at the time of writing. For the most current information, please contact Metra Passenger Services at 312-MY-METRA (312-696-3872). P-8 service is provided by SCR Transportation and can be ordered by calling 708-953-3511.
[H3] Examples of Eligible & Non-Eligible Trips
Most trips within the city of Chicago are not eligible since all of Chicago is within ½-mile of an accessible bus line most of the time. There are, however, limited exceptions.For example, because the accessible #1 Indiana) bus does not operate weekday evenings after the rush hour, or on weekends, P-8 service is eligible on parts of the Metra Electric Line to McCormick Place Station during those periods.Trips from Main Street Station in Evanston to Rogers Park Station are eligible because CTA buses do not go to Metra’s Rogers Park Station. Trips to Central Street Station from Main Street Station are eligible only between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. since a CTA bus operates during the day.Trips from Oak Park Station are not eligible since CTA's Green Line runs downtown.If the elevator at an accessible Metra station is temporarily out of order, P-8 service will be provided to the next accessible station during this period. Signs at the elevator site will have detailed information including P-8 service numbers.
