Information and Services for Persons with Disabilities

Frequently Asked Questions

San Antonio River Authority (River Authority) is committed to providing individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from the River Authority’s programs, activities, and services.

Individuals may request reasonable accommodations from the River Authority that they believe will enable them to have such equal opportunity to participate in our programs, activities, and services.

Information and Services for Persons Limited English Proficiency

Because approximately 90% of the households with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) in the River Authority’s jurisdiction are proficient in Spanish, the River Authority dedicates resources to make key materials available in both English and Spanish.  In addition, the River Authority will provide upon request:

• Free aids and services, such as qualified sign language interpreters and written information in other formats (large print, audio, accessible electronic formats, etc.), to communicate effectively with persons with disabilities.
 
• Free language services, such as qualified foreign language interpreters and information written in other languages, to ensure meaningful access to programs and activities for persons with limited English proficiency.

If you need these services, please contact the Public Communications department at 210-227-1373.
