The Access Link Customer Service Group shall, within 21 business days of the receipt of a complaint, respond in writing as to the disposition or status of the complaint. Any person who has not received a written response to a complaint within 21 business days may petition the New Jersey Transit General Manager of ADA Services for a hearing upon that complaint, under rules promulgated by the general manager for the hearing and disposition of such matters. As used in this section, "Access Link" means the paratransit service implemented by the corporation for purposes of complying with the "Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990," Pub.L.101-336 (42 U.S.C.s.12101 et seq.).

b. The corporation shall provide to each person using Access Link, at the time the person is determined to be qualified for Access Link service and at least once in each calendar year thereafter in which the person remains a user, information as to the procedure to be followed in making and pursuing complaints to the Access Link Customer Service Group or the New Jersey Transit General Manager of ADA Services pursuant to this section. The direct telephone number for the Access Link Customer Service Group shall be prominently displayed in all Access Link vehicles.
