All grievances concerning discrimination in the provision or accessibility of C-TRAN programs, services, benefits, or activities, or about a response to a request for accommodation or modification of programs, services, benefits, or activities, should be submitted to C-TRAN. A formal grievance may be submitted by any of the following methods:

The grievance should be submitted as soon as possible and no later than sixty (60) days following the actions upon which it is based.
