to the line, but the historic Perley Thomas streetcars were not to be modified. In 2020, to comply with the 2017 consent decree, RTA renovated three streetcars (and later a fourth) that had originally been built with wheelchair accessible features for Riverfront service, bringing the St. Charles streetcar line into compliance with the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This included repainting these cars from Riverfront red to the iconic St. Charles line green. The cars carry a wheelchair icon on their ends and sides. RTA also rebuilt car stops at six major intersections to allow wheelchair access. Wheelchair accessible service on the St. Charles line began on December 1, 2020. Operation The St. Charles Streetcar line operates 24 hours a day, with frequent service most of the day (7 a.m. to 10 p.m.), with cars coming every nine minutes. Cars operate every 18 minutes early morning (before 7 a.m.) and late night (10 p.m. to midnight), with 36 minute intervals in the night owl period (midnight to 6 a.m.). The principal equipment of the line consists of 35 streetcars built in 1923–24 by the Perley Thomas Car Co. They have been rebuilt several times during their long service life.
