[nagdu] Buses and guide dogs

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

How do the bus companies know you have a dog when you buy your tickets? Can't you just refuse to comply?

Hello all. I thought that you all would be interested in what is going on here in Montana. We  are heading for our state convention in Misoula next week and have found out that bus conpanies are requiring us to fill out paperwork explaining the use of our guide dogs forty eight hours in advance. This is a national issue onall bus lines. I didn't know this until yesterday. Ada regulations are involved in this situation. Marion if you see this post I need your contact information because I would like to speak to you about this.thanks.

Sheila Leigland
