Question: When can transit providers require passengers to purchase an extra seat for their service animals?

Answer: Transit providers should not require passengers to purchase an extra seat for their service animal unless the animal won’t fit in the immediate sitting area. For example, a Great Dane might be denied cabin space unless an additional seat is purchased.

Do you own an assistance animal? Register your pet. 

The Service Animal Registry of California invites you to have your assistance animal registered in order to designate its status. We also encourage you to take our online classes so you can be fully aware of your rights and gain more knowledge about your support animal.

Finally, we present to you our book entitled, “ASSISTANCE ANIMAL LAWS: LEARN YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING SERVICE ANIMALS, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS, THERAPY PETS, AND OTHER DOGS, CATS, AND ASSISTANCE ANIMALS” to provide you with a complete education on assistance animals.
