ADA violation

[lynda92107]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? ca
There is a charter bus company that is in direct violation of ADA regulations. I have contacted the local ADA Assistance Office for my area and they have instructed me to file a complaint with the DOJ. Therefore I have a case against them, with class action probability. Can someone instruct me as to a local lawyer that may be interested in pursing this? This company has repeatedly discriminated against disabled passengers and subject to federal fines and/or penalties, They must pay!

Lynda, how nice of you to demand a conviction for an issue that has not even gone to court!

Have you discussed your issues with the particular service provider? That is likely the most direct way to get a response & corrective action. Is there a local or other state agency such the PUC that regulates these companies? They would be another resource that could help resolve the situation.

You stated that the alleged offender is a charter bus company rather than local transit. Depending on the company, it is possible that this company has & is still using vehicles that were manufactured prior to enactment of ADA in the early 1990s. Large intercity parlor buses cost around $500,000 each when new so it is understandable that they will continue to use older vehicles as long as they are reliable and suitable for the service. I have contracted for charter bus services and the providers DO ask for information concerning whether any passengers require special accommodations. try working with these folks & you'll find they are more than helpful if they knoe the needs soon enough to assign the most appropriate vehicles they have for the specific needs.
