MOBILITY APPEALS PROCESS
(updated August 7, 2018)

You may take an appeal if you have been (1) denied eligibility; or (2) granted temporary or conditional eligibility and believe you should have been granted full eligibility; or (3) suspended or barred from receiving services.

To do so, you must follow these steps to appeal the decision:

1. You must submit the appeals form to Mobility Appeals, Office of Equal Opportunity Compliance Programs within 60 days from the date on your determination letter or you will lose your right to appeal. Your appeal request may be done in person, by phone or in writing. We will notify you of the date, time and location (if you choose to appear in person). We will schedule your hearing within 30 days of receipt of your appeal request.
2. Written appeals should be provided to Mobility Appeals, Office of Equal Opportunities Compliance Programs at 6 Saint Paul St, Baltimore, MD 21202.
3. Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) will grant current customers/recertification applicants temporary paratransit service during the appeal process if a completed Hearing Request form is received by MTA within 10 calendar days of receipt of a denial letter. Mobility does not offer temporary paratransit service to new applicants during the appeal process. If an appeal determination has not been made within 30 days of your appeal hearing, MTA Mobility will provide you with paratransit service from the 31st day until an appeal decision is made.
4. In order to obtain a copy of your Mobility Application and all supporting documents before your hearing, you must mark the option “I would like a copy of my file” when completing the attached MTA’s Hearing Request form.

6. It is important that you attend the hearing in person, by phone or that you submit by the hearing date any information you would like us to consider. If you have scheduled a telephone hearing, please make sure the Mobility Appeals, OECP has a good contact number to reach you at the designated date and time.
7. To reschedule your appeal date and time, contact the Mobility Appeals, OECP at 410-764-8507 and a new hearing will be scheduled within 30 days. You may be required to provide documentation to support your postponement request.

9. You may have a representative with you during the hearing (for example, someone from an advocacy organization or an attorney). A representative may assist you in presenting information to the decision maker, but may not answer questions for you or interfere with the conduct of the hearing.
