ADA Policy & Procedures

Reasonable Modification

Ride Connection and its service partners support equal access.

• the request would create a direct threat to the health and safety of others

• or the modification/accommodation is not necessary for the requestor to fully use and/or participate in Ride Connection’s programs, services and activities

Requests for accommodations may be made by email, telephone or mail. Any customer wishing to request a reasonable modification/accommodation may do so by calling Mike Mullins, Chief Quality Assurance & Compliance Officer, at 503.528.1743 or by emailing .
