Reasonable Modification

Regulations require public transportation entities to make reasonable modifications to their transit service policies, practices, and procedures to ensure that programs are accessible to individuals with disabilities.

Individuals with disabilities may request that TTD make reasonable modifications to its policies, practices, and procedures in order for that individual to fully use transit services. TTD will accommodate requests provided that:

1. The requestor would not be able to fully use the service without the modification;
2. The fundamental nature of the service, program or activity is not altered;
3. It does not cause a direct threat to the health and safety of others; and
4. It does not cause an undue financial and administrative burden.

Any person seeking a reasonable modification who wants to appeal a reasonable modification determination, or who believes he or she has been discriminated against on the basis of a disability, may submit a modification request, appeal, or complaint for handling

Making a Complaint

If you believe TTD has denied you access, benefits or excluded you from participation on TTD services because of your disability, you may file a complaint with the TTD.  Any such complaint must be in writing and filed with TTD within 180 days following the date of the alleged act of discrimination.
