42 U.S.C. § 12144Public entity operating a demand responsive system

submitted 36 years ago by Pub. L. 101-336 to r/title-42-THE-PUBLIC-HEALTH-AND-WELFARE · 105 words · no verdicts yet

A transit agency running a demand responsive system commits discrimination if it buys or leases an inaccessible new vehicle after July 26, 1990. This doesn't apply if the whole system already gives people with disabilities service equal to everyone else's.

If a public entity operates a demand responsive system, it counts as discrimination, for purposes of section 12132 and section 794 of title 29, for that entity to buy or lease a new vehicle for that system — where the solicitation happens more than 30 days after July 26, 1990 — that isn't readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, including individuals who use wheelchairs. This does not apply if the system, viewed as a whole, already provides those individuals a level of service equivalent to what it provides individuals without disabilities.
