Dear Luke and Mike,

 

I point your attention to the joint Peckham, TDN and Genesee County Chamber of Commerce job fair after my signature line which I copied and pasted for you’re an my convenience. Now, whenever I try to link to the application I just get contact information. Regardless, could you or anyone at TDN please remit an accessible application for these jobs? Could you send me either a plain text, accessible word or accessible pdf document to my e-mail address listed in the letterhead? As you know I’m blind and am making this request pursuant to obligations under the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

 

Moreover, I noticed that this notice refers to transportation to and from Lansing. As you know that is a big hurdle for we people with disabilities. Could you give me some more details on that provision for these jobs?

 

Nothing About Us Without Us,

 

Joe
