This includes identifying, removing, and preventing barriers for people with disabilities in obtaining, using, and benefitting from our services and facilities.For a person who has a physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory disability, a barrier is anything that interacts with that disability in a way that may hinder the person’s full and effective participation in society on an equal basis.The following are examples of barriers:
  • A physical barrier
  • An architectural barrier
  • An information or communications barrier
  • An attitudinal barrier
  • A technological barrier
  • A barrier established or perpetuated by an enactment, a policy, or practice

Statements

Communication

Dunn Ram Trucks will make reasonable efforts to ensure that, when communicating with a person who self-identifies as being disabled by a barrier, the communication is done in a manner that considers the barrier and that alternative formats are made available upon request.Dunn Ram Trucks will make reasonable efforts to ensure that information regarding our services, accessible features, and temporary barriers are available on our website.
