I have rode Marta for years and for years they have been absolutely dissatisfying. For years, they have refused to change. We have been to meetings yet we have can. We’re not getting any results. We have expressed our concerns or at least I know personally me and my associates have. The fact that you guys do not address and do not care about the disabled community deeply and I mean deeply concerns me. Marta has left individuals for hours on in. I can count. I have had complaints of hours of four hours three hours in locations. Also, I have hurricane complaints that people were left in locations that they weren’t able to get home and sit in it unsafe. Personally they have a dissatisfying attitude whenever we call and try to get help The drivers for the most part are lazy. They do not want to get out when they have door-to-door assistance they refuse to push wheelchairs. They refuse to come to the door and assist the Blind. I don’t know how this can be helped but I really would appreciate it if you guys start taking concerns and taking us seriously we are People People with disabilities that may need just a tank of help the fact that they care not for seniors and they’re not able to do anything concerns me, the lack of respect their morals are completely dissatisfying. But I could go on all day about Marta but because this is a short Expression of how I feel. If you really would take addition to to make changes, I would greatly appreciate it and thank you.
Landree supported: Improve Marta Mobility Paratransit Services in Metro Atlanta for People with DisabilitiesEs una vergüenza que el personal de este Hospital no tenga el entrenamiento necesario para ayudar a personas con impedimentos y la falta de accesibilidad para sillas de rueda desde el estacionamiento a la entrada principal del hospital es inaceptable.
Miguel supported: Mejoras en accesibilidad para personas con impedimentos en el Hospital Pavía AreciboAs a proud East High alumni I would love to see my alma mater take the necessary steps to provide this tool in order to ensure basic rights for all students.
Joehl supported: Mandate Denver East High School to Install Wheelchair Ramp for InclusivityEveryone should have the right to education and everyone should be able to get access to this education! It saddens me that our public buildings have still not developed to help everyone be able to easily get into the buildings. Everyone deserves to be able to go through the front doors of school without feeling embarrassed but feeling excited to learn.
Katelyn supported: Mandate Denver East High School to Install Wheelchair Ramp for InclusivityHi there,
I wanted to respectfully ask the pool management to consider allowing outside food, especially for families like mine. My daughter has food allergies, and unfortunately, there just aren’t many safe options for her at the concession stand.
I completely understand that the rule is likely in place to prevent alcohol from being brought in, but I believe there are ways to adapt the policy without compromising safety like enforcing a rule that all outside drinks must be in clear, empty bottles or containers that can be checked if needed.
Being able to bring in food would make it a lot easier for families with dietary needs to enjoy their time at the pool without worry. I hope you’ll consider making an exception or creating a policy that supports all members of the community, including those with food restrictions.
Thank you for your time and understanding.
Sincerely,
Alexis
Alexis supported: Allow Outside Food at Cassville and Monett Aquatic CentersI respectfully urge Cassville and Monett Aquatic Centers to reverse the policy banning all outside food and drinks.
First, many families—including those with limited incomes—rely on bringing their own snacks and drinks. Spending extended hours in the sun without affordable access to nourishment isn’t just uncomfortable—it can be unsafe.
Second, please consider that under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), individuals with serious food allergies are recognized as having a disability, because allergies can substantially limit major life activities such as eating and breathing . The ADA forbids discrimination in “public accommodations” like aquatic centers, meaning you must allow reasonable accommodations—including letting patrons bring necessary food and drinks—unless doing so would fundamentally alter your services .
By prohibiting all outside food or drink, the centers risk excluding or disadvantaging those with food allergies or other medical needs. This isn’t merely a matter of comfort—it’s about equitable access and compliance with federal law.
Third, from a public-safety standpoint, letting families bring their own thirst- and heat-relief items can help prevent dehydration and related illnesses, especially on long, sunny days.
In short, revisiting this policy would:
• Help low-income families participate safely and enjoyably.
• Ensure the centers comply with ADA obligations and don’t inadvertently discriminate against those with food allergies or medical conditions.
• Promote overall health and inclusivity in our community.
Thank you for considering the spirit of inclusion, public wellbeing, and accessibility. We value your efforts and hope you’ll find a solution that serves all members of our community.
Lindsey supported: Allow Outside Food at Cassville and Monett Aquatic CentersAs the mother of a junior nursing student at a Christian college who has POTS, I am saddened to see a Christian college that would do this. My daughter, like this girl, works so hard for her Dean’s List position and shouldn’t have her opportunity yanked away from her. Why would you expel someone with a strong academic record who must work harder than the majority of your student body as she fights her disability to learn and excel?
Arlena supported: Reinstate Student With Disability Who Was Unjustly Expelled From Belmont UniversityAs someone that has lived with an invisible disability pretty much all of my life, I have dealt with denials left and right due to those who weren't knowledgeable or, chose denial in lieu of educating themselves about this condition. This story, lends me to believe a similar type of situation allowed those unlikely in the know to make decisions against this young lady without their getting to know her or even more, researching her history to understand what their actions have cause. Be accountable for your actions but take the time to know about POTS so those actions are fair. Please don't make judgements that stand against the rightful behavior to our fellow men and women. Know that we don't know everything but leave room to know by learning.
Debbie supported: Reinstate Student With Disability Who Was Unjustly Expelled From Belmont UniversityMy daughter was diagnosed with Pots while attending Belmont. The administration utterly failed her. Even though we went through their disability office, they gave away her first floor dorm room to a kid who’s mom threw a fit about her kids room. Didn’t matter that my child’s room was reserved, and we were there on time, etc. Their only solution was move her and service dog to a dorm that made her life harder. Or make her walk up and down stairs repeatedly despite her medical issues.
Their pitiful security routinely gave tickets to my daughter for parking in a handicap spot near her class. It didn’t matter to them that she has a disabled parking tag. They insisted the spot was for disabled guest only. Each year I showed them their own policy book that said students may use any disabled spots on campus. The disability office was no help, claiming the campus is private property they can make their own rules.
When she was in the hospital having an e regency heart procedure, I notified the disability office asking they let her teachers know she would be out for surgery, they did not pass it on. All her teachers thought she skipped her midterm exams. Thankfully she had good reputation with them and they all were super kind about it. But another failure by their disability office.
She got a great education in international businesss and entrepreneurship from fabulous teachers…. But administratively Belmont was a nightmare. So much more I could share.
