Reasonable Modification

Janus Developmental Services, Inc. dba Hamilton County Express is committed to providing equal access and opportunity to qualified individuals with disabilities. Hamilton County Express (HCE) recognizes that in order to have equally effective opportunities and benefits, individuals with disabilities may need reasonable modifications to policies and procedures. A reasonable modification is a change or exception to a policy, practice or procedure that allows disabled individuals to have equal access to programs, services and activities. HCE will make reasonable modifications to policies, practices and procedures when necessary to ensure access to transit services for qualified individuals with disabilities, unless:

Making the accommodation would fundamentally alter the nature of the public transportation service.
Making the accommodation would create a direct threat to the health or safety of other passengers.
The individual with a disability is able to fully use HCE without the accommodation being made.

Whenever feasible, HCE requests that individuals make such requests for modifications before HCE is expected to provide the modified service. To request a reasonable modification or obtain more information, contact 317-773-8781 (TTY 800-743-3333) and ask to speak to the Transportation Manager, email hce@janus-inc.org or write to or visit our administrative office at Janus Developmental Services, 1555 Westfield Road, Noblesville, IN 46062.

HCE will process requests and then provide modifications, where appropriate, in as short a time frame as reasonably possible. As soon as deciding about providing a modification, HCE will immediately communicate the decision to the individual. HCE will issue a notification of the decision in writing.

Any person who believes they have been discriminated against in obtaining a reasonable modification may file a complaint by completing and submitting a HCE Reasonable Modification Complaint Form. HCE investigates complaints received no more than 30 days after receipt. After HCE investigates the complaint, a decision will be rendered in writing to the complainant. If a complainant disagrees with the decision of HCE, an opportunity to appeal the decision may be pursued provided the complainant files notice of appeal within 21 days of HCE’s initial decision. In the event of appeal, the complainant will be granted all due process, including the ability to present additional evidence, present the case in person during an appeal hearing, and to be represented by counsel.

Judy McShane, Manager of Hamilton County Express recently received the following letter from a client's Dad. The names of the client and her Dad have been changed.

Dear Mrs. McShane,

Thank you for the safe, reliable transportation that you and others at HCE provide for individuals with disabilities, people such as my daughter.

Through Janus, Lisa has been employed as a cashier at Goodwill for more than two years. I had been able to drive her to and from work for most of that time. However, two months ago I took on a new job and was no longer able to provide this transportation.

We were told Lisa would be able to use HCE to get her to and from work, if this service was needed. That service has turned out well for us and I wanted to let you know.

It is reassuring to know that Lisa always has a safe, pleasant, reliable ride to and from work. Both she and I are extremely happy with the experience, from the ease of scheduling to the timeliness and courtesy of the drivers.

Thank you for this wonderful service. It is making a huge contribution to Lisa's life and to mine.

Sincerely,

John Smith

Becky Moore, director of Mephibosheth Ministries at Cicero Christian Church, called our office with the story of a young gentleman by the name of Tony. Tony attended their summer camp program and expressed that he would like to attend the Adult Day Program sponsored by the church. Tony lives in the southern most corner of Hamilton County, and needs transportation to Cicero in the morning and evening two days a week. Transporting Tony to the program could only happen because Hamilton County Express is able to assist Tony, Becky explains. Tony is in a wheelchair, his caretaker is not able to transport him, and his parents work. With the help of Becky Moore and the caretaker alerting Janus, Hamilton County Express has been able to transport Tony on a weekly basis to the program he loves. Tony’s driver has shared how much Tony loves riding the bus, interacting with other riders, and just taking in the scenery on the way to and from Cicero. The simple act of providing a ride enables Tony to access his community and become a contributing member of a program that means so much to him.
