CobbLinc complies with the American with Disabilities Act of 1990, Public Law 101-336 (ADA), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability – requiring that no qualified individual with a disability shall, on the basis of a disability, be denied the benefits of CobbLinc services or programs. 

According to the Code of Federal Regulations, 49 CFR 37.169, CobbLinc is required to provide reasonable modifications/accommodations for people with a disability to access CobbLinc’s transportation bus service.  If you have a specific physical or service accessibility need, please notify CobbLinc of your requirements so that reasonable accommodations can be provided for you. When making a request, please thoroughly describe what is needed in order for you to use the service and why this assistance is necessary.

Requests can be made in advance or on-the-spot, depending upon the circumstance.  Whenever feasible, a request for modification to CobbLinc’s service, policies, practice, or procedures should be made in advance before CobbLinc is expected to provide the service. CobbLinc will review your request and will make every effort to communicate in advance whether or not the requested modification can be made.

Requests may be directed to:

CobbLinc
Attn: Transit Operations Specialist
463 Commerce Park Drive
Marietta, Georgia 30060-2737

(770) 528-3690, TDD: 711

cobblinc_cs@cobbcounty.org

If the modification is not made, CobbLinc will provide the reason for the denial of the request. Requests may be denied on one or more of the following grounds:

• Granting the request would fundamentally alter the nature of CobbLinc’s service, programs, or activities;
• Granting the request could create a direct threat to the health or safety of the requestor or others;
• Granting the request would create an undue financial or administrative burden for CobbLinc; and/or
• Without such modification, the individual with a disability is otherwise able to fully use CobbLinc’s services, programs, or activities for their intended purpose.

In compliance with Section 35, 106 of the ADA’s Title II regulations, all applicants, participants, beneficiaries and other interested individuals may obtain more information at ada.gov or by contacting the CobbLinc Transit Operations Specialist.

Any individual who believes they have been denied the benefits of, excluded from participation in, or have been subject to discrimination on the grounds of their disability, may file a formal complaint with CobbLinc.

You can download the ADA Complaint Form (English and Spanish) or call the Transit Operations Specialist at (770) 528-3690 to request that a form be sent to you.
