Belleville's public transit system is operated by the St. Clair County Transit District. All SCTD vehicles are wheelchair-accessible, and many are equipped with a kneeling function to reduce the distance between the curb and the bus. Seniors qualify for half-price fares on all SCTD routes, and those who cannot ride the regular bus due to disability can apply to use the city's on-demand, curb-to-curb paratransit service.
