Richard v. U-haul

In 1998, DRA settled a class action against U-Haul, wherby U-Haul agreed to:

  1. make significant modifications to its vehicle rental, retail, and storage facilities to bring those facilities into compliance with ADA regulations;
  2. provide accessible information to customers with disabilities regarding access and other disability-related issues;
  3. make best reasonable efforts to provide removable hand controls on its vehicles;
  4. institute a training program, including a company manual, to train personnel regarding access requirements for patrons with disabilities;
  5. keep access routes at its facitliies clear in compliance with the law; and
  6. ensure that access fetures at its facilities are maintained in operating condition.
We are currently working with U-Haul to ensure that they continue to meet their obligations under the settlement agreement.
