Are there any common carrier regulations regarding individuals with disabilities? |
 |
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) states that no individual with a disability shall be denied the opportunity to use the public transportation system. Additionally, where necessary or upon request, the personnel of both public and private transportation services must assist a disabled person with the use of ramps and lifts enabling the individual to enter or exit the transportation service. The personnel may have to leave their seats in order to provide such assistance.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) provides several different regulations. An example of such regulations are that all common wheelchairs are allowed on public and private transportation services but may be subject to designated securement locations or that service animals must be permitted on both public and private transportation services. For more information on the requirements of the ADA law or if you are the disabled individual and have had problems with a transportation service, please contact an attorney for further information and advice. |
