EPAMD permit requirement true statement?

• A. Only disabled riders require a permit
• B. Non-disabled riders may ride without a permit
• C. Both disabled and non-disabled riders require a permit
• D. EPAMDs are not allowed in stations

Answer: (C)

Permits for EPAMDs are required for all riders. EPAMD refers to an electric personal assistive mobility device used in station areas. The permit isn’t about who needs help; it’s about safety and accountability. Requiring a permit ensures that anyone operating these devices has been informed about the rules, can handle the device safely, and that the device itself meets the system’s safety standards (such as speed, size, and where the device may be used). Because pedestrians and wheelchairs, strollers, and other riders share the same space, applying the permit to everyone keeps the environment safer for all.

That’s why the statement that both disabled and non-disabled riders require a permit is the best choice. If only disabled riders needed a permit, non-disabled riders could operate without training, increasing risk. If EPAMDs were not allowed in stations, there would be no need for a permit. And allowing non-disabled riders to ride without a permit would contradict the safety intent of the program.
