How will your complaint be handled?
Navajo Transit System investigates complaints received no more than 180 days after the alleged incident. We will process complaints that are complete. Once a completed complaint is received, we will determine if we have jurisdiction. The complainant will receive a letter acknowledging receipt of the complaint and whether we have jurisdiction to investigate the complaint.
Navajo Transit System will generally complete an investigation within 90 days from receipt of a complaint. If more information is needed to resolve the case, we may contact you. Unless we specify a longer period, you will have ten (10) days from the date of the request to send the requested information. If the requested information is not received, we may administratively close the case. A case may also be administratively closed if you no longer wish to pursue it.
After the investigation is complete, Navajo Transit System will send you a letter summarizing the results of the investigation, stating the findings, and advising of any corrective action to be taken as a result of the investigation. If you disagree with our determination, you may request reconsideration by submitting a request in writing to us within seven (7) days after the date of the letter, stating with specificity the basis for the reconsideration. We will notify you of the decision either to accept or reject the request for reconsideration within ten (10) days. In cases where reconsideration is granted, we will issue a determination letter to the complainant upon completion of the reconsideration review. |
