- Until all bathrooms, aisles, and seating are made wheelchair accessible, the partial accessibility of the branches will be indicated by this symbol for partial or no accessibility

- If you are using a specific branch with the
symbol for partial or no accessibility, please call for the potential access to its facility and services.
