The Danville Transit System's Handivan service is available to residents of the City of Danville who are determined to be unable to use the fixed route service due to a physical or cognitive disability. Riders may bring a small, personal-use-size stroller or small cart, which must be securely held.  The cart or stroller must have wheels or brakes that can be locked.
