                ATTORNEY GENERAL COAKLEY WINS LAWSUIT AGAINST FUNG WAH BUS COMPANY FOR REFUSING TO SELL TICKETS TO BLIND COUPLE

BOSTON – The Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD) has ruled in favor of the Commonwealth in Attorney General Martha Coakley’s lawsuit against a bus company accused of denying access to a blind couple traveling from Boston to New York with a service dog. Earlier this week, MCAD ordered Fung Wah to implement comprehensive anti-discrimination and service animal policies, to designate a new Disability Access Coordinator and Complaint Officer (whom the MCAD must approve), and train its workforce about the anti-discrimination laws within 60 days. It also awarded $35,000 to Mr. Albert Sten-Clanton and $25,000 to Ms. Mary Sten-Clanton in emotional distress damages and a $10,000 civil penalty to the Commonwealth.  

“Service animals provide invaluable assistance to many blind men and women and afford them the opportunity to function independently in society,” said Attorney General Martha Coakley.  “Equal access for all individuals is not just good business, it is the law, and we will not tolerate discrimination based on disability.”
