On the Spot Request

There may be cases where an advance request is impractical or not anticipated. You may make an on the spot request by asking the driver or other operations personnel for consideration. A response will be made at the time of your request. The driver or other operations personnel will make a decision based on the information available to them at that time, and in the best interest of the safety and health of everyone.

Basis for Denials

Please note a request for reasonable modification will not be considered or may be denied if it would:

  1. Fundamentally alter ICTC’s services or programs

  2. Fundamentally alter IVT’s, IVT Access’ or IVT RIDE’s services

  3. Create a direct threat to the health or safety of others

  4. It is determined that the applicant is able to fully use the service or program without the requested modification to the IVT, IVT Access or IVT RIDE services

  5. Cause an undue financial or administrative burden

If ICTC determines a request for reasonable accommodation will be denied, ICTC will communicate the basis for the decision in writing to the individual requesting the modification. The explanation for the denial will state:

  1. The specific reason(s) for the denial;

  2. Any alternative accommodation if available that may create the same access to transit services as requested by the individual;

  3. The opportunity to file an appeal relative to ICTC’s decision on the request.
