**Teaser:
The Justice Department announced today that it 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
U.S. Department of Justice determined that DeCamp Bus Lines violated 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.
