Advocate and Empower

If a member is having difficulty with their transportation they should first try to contact their provider to discuss the situation. Encourage them to become a member of their committee or attend their town hall meetings to be a proponent of change.  If they are still having difficulty and would like to file a complaint they should contact the Federal Transit Administration Office of Civil Rights at http://www.fta.dot.gov/civil_rights.html  or file an ADA compliance complaint at http://www.ada.gov/complaint/.
