Public Notice 12/8/2011

Post date: Dec 09, 2011 1:8:5 AM

The Iowa City Transit which is the local city bus service, was under an extensive investigation for violations of public safety, A.D.A. [Americans with Disability Act], and discrimination complaints by local African American passengers. As of today, the main head quarters office on Riverside Drive has finally passed our onsite inspection of the building. In prev...ious onsite building inspections conducted by MaGaZiNe yEtU, the Director Chris O'Brien had not met compliance. This morning's inspection yielded the desired results with respect to the building, yet the other concerns are not verified as corrected or accommadated at this time. The building violation had been a non-operational door access button on the front entrance of the head quarters which would allow for disabled persons to enter the building as required by federal law. See the back issues of MaGaZiNe yEtU for the coverage of this story.
