Title VI Plan
USDOT disability law guidance released in September 2005 indicates that ADA paratransit must be origin-to-destination service, and some customers may need to be accommodated in their need for assistance between the door and the vehicle unless it creates an “undue burden” or “fundamentally alteration” of service.
