Traveling With Certified Service Animals
Service Animal
Maritime Bus will accept one certified service animal per passenger with a disability for carriage without charge and will permit the animal, if properly harnessed, to accompany the passenger on the bus. The service animal will remain on the floor at the passenger’s feet during travel or on the lap and fully under control by leash at all times – carriers are permitted and are encouraged.
The service animal is the responsibility of its owner and must be under the control of its owner at all times (i.e., leash, harness or carrier). The service animal must ride in the bus within the customer’s space. Service animals may not travel in the aisle or occupy a seat. Maritime Bus reserves the right to refuse passage to any animal that poses a direct threat to the health and safety of other customers, Maritime Bus personnel or contractors.
Passengers should note that they are required to produce written proof to the operator that the service animal has been trained and certified by a professional service animal institution or a valid Doctor’s note indicating a requirement for a Therapy Pet as a companion.
