Title VI Complaint Form

Reasonable modification means that “the nature of an individual’s disability cannot preclude a public transportation entity from providing full access to the entity’s service unless some exception applies.” DCT will make reasonable modifications in policies, practices, or procedures when such accommodations are necessary to avoid discrimination on the basis of disability unless the recipient can demonstrate that making the accommodations would fundamentally alter the nature of the service, program, or activity or result in an undue financial and administrative burden.

Limitations that may negatively affect other passengers or interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle are at the driver’s discretion.  Passengers are welcome to bring carts to assist in taking items on the bus.  Please refer to the Passenger Rules for acceptable dimensions for carts allowed on vehicles.

To ensure that Delaware County Transit can provide a safe and comfortable transportation experience, the Delaware County Transit Board has established a policy for abusive and/or disruptive passengers that may lead to suspension and/or termination of riding privileges and/or legal action. Please refer to the Abusive/Disruptive Passenger Policy.
