Question

The transit service may refuse transport of an individual with a disability if that person does not have a personal care attendant. True or false

Answer 1

False. In the USA, the Americans with Disabilities Act has provided regulation for public transportation providers in order to ensure access to transportation for those with disabilities. Local public transportation agencies cannot discriminate against those with disabilities and must comply with a host of accessibility regulations. Those who cannot utilize the general public transportation for various reasons, including lack of accessibility, are eligible for ADA paratransport.
