ATA will accommodate any mobility device as long as the combined weight is within the actual dimensions and design load of the vehicle.

In addition to wheelchairs, passengers may utilize other mobility devices such as canes or walkers on ATA vehicles.

• Service animals should be leashed and under the owner’s control.
• Service animals are expected to sit on the floor of the vehicle.

Reasonable Modification/Accomodations for Individuals with Disabilities

ATA will make reasonable modifications to its policies, practices, or procedures when requested to do so by individuals with disabilities when such accommodations are necessary to avoid discrimination on the basis of disability.

Requests for accommodations will be considered on a case-by-case basis and may be denied if:

• Granting the request would fundamentally alter the nature of the authority’s service, programs, or activities;

• Granting the request could create a direct threat to the health or safety of others;

• Without such modification, the individual with a disability is otherwise able to fully use the authority’s services, programs, or activities for their intended purpose.

Process for Requesting Modifications/Accommodations for Individuals with Disabilities

Requests for modifications of the authority’s policies, practices, or procedures to accommodate an individual with a disability may be made either in advance or at the time of the transportation service. The authority is best able to address and accommodate a request when it is made in advance. The process for making a request is as follows:

Advance Requests:

When making a request, please thoroughly describe:

• What is needed in order to use the service?
• Why this accommodation is necessary?

Authority staff will review the request, and make every effort to communicate in advance whether or not the requested modification can be made.

If the modification is not made, the authority will provide the reason for the denial of the request. Requests may be denied on one or more of the following grounds:

• Granting the request would fundamentally alter the nature of the authority’s service, programs, or activities;
• Granting the request could create a direct threat to the health or safety of others;
• Without such modification, the individual with a disability is otherwise able to fully use the authority’s services, programs, or activities for their intended purpose.

Requests may be made through the ATA Customer Service department via telephone at 866-282-4968, via email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., or via mail using the Request for Reasonable Accommodation form sent to:

44 TRANSPORTATION CENTER

JOHNSONBURG PA 15845-2102

Same Day Requests:

When a request for modification cannot be made in advance, a request may be made on the same day, or during service.

• The request should be made to the operator of the ATA vehicle.

Please describe in detail:

• What is needed in order to use the service?
• Why this accommodation is necessary?

Operators may grant a request if it is reasonable and meets the requirements of the authority’s policy.

If an operator is unsure if the request should be granted or declined, she/he is required to consult with the dispatch office to receive direction. Requests may be denied on the following grounds:

• Granting the request would fundamentally alter the nature of the authority’s service, programs, or activities;
• Granting the request could create a direct threat to the health or safety of others;
• Without such modification, the individual with a disability is otherwise able to fully use the authority’s services, programs, or activities for their intended purpose.

A vehicle operator’s availability to provide an accommodation may be quite limited when he/she is providing service, and if the request would require extended consideration and attention, the request may not be accommodated immediately, in which case the passenger will be encouraged to submit a written request for consideration on future trips.

The authority’s ability to accommodate the requested modifications may vary by route, day of travel, time of day, or other circumstances.

Process for Appealing a Denied Request for Modifications/Accommodations for Individuals with Disabilities

If a passenger wishes to appeal the authority’s denial of a request for accommodations, contact information is as follows:

ABOUT ATA FIXED ROUTES

Fixed routes are appropriate for communities that have enough people living in them and enough destinations to travel to make them an affordable transportation option.   Fixed routes have fixed or established pick-up/drop-off points.

Drivers are not permitted to go off route for any pick-ups or drop-offs.

Because these routes have established points and cannot respond to requests for changes, the fares are the least costly available.
