Planning support and service limits
Milton funds free MagnusCards decks for planning, paying, riding and transferring. The structured visual instructions can help autistic or neurodivergent riders and caregivers prepare for a trip.
Service animals are allowed. Riders who cannot regularly use conventional transit for some or all trips can investigate Milton access+, but the general accessibility page does not itself grant specialized-service eligibility.
Onboard cameras support safety and investigation but are not monitored in real time. Their presence is not a live assistance service.
