The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has reached a settlement with DeCamp Bus Lines, a New Jersey transportation company, to ensure that bus transportation is provided on equal terms to people with disabilities.  The DOJ determined that DeCamp Bus Lines violated Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act by requiring that passengers with disabilities provide 48 hours of advance notice to secure a wheelchair-accessible bus, even though passengers without disabilities did not have to provide any advance notice.  The settlement agreement requires DeCamp to comply with all ADA requirements for accessible service, and not exclude persons with disabilities from its transportation services.
