Dear Mr. Bell (Please see my story, Skanner Newspaper Reporters):
I
am contacting you directly to see if you have received my
disability/race discrimination complaint that I sent to you months ago.
My name is Kimberly Petitt; I am a disabled African American woman.
My
complaint should have been received by you/Tri-met some time ago
(December 2014). I looked you up on the internet and you are the
diversity director at Tri-met and you are African American. Is there any
reason you have not ever responded to my complaint? The infraction
happened at the Beaverton Transit Center on December 12, 2014. Another
incident occurred August 25, 2014 where my disability chair was damaged
by Tri-met at the Hillsboro Max. I have not received a response from you
on that one either. The last incident happened in January where another
Max operator closed the doors on me refusing to allow me to exit at the
Sunset Transit Center. Both operators who discriminated against me
were/are white males.
I
always had good faith in Tri-Met and read the websites that seem to
imply that Tri-met really values the lives of all its commuters, and
cares for the disabled's needs very much, but now the way I have been
treated for just coming forward with truthful complaints, I am feeling
that Tri-met is only trying to shut me down; why? It causes more
persistence and anger, distress when they keep trying to ignore my
complaints. Also, there are witnesses but to date Tri-met has never
asked for them either. Why?
Thank
you for letting me know immediately; today. I need honest and upright
explanations. I did a bit more research to see that both you and Monika
Johnson are Black? Then why all the discriminatory and fraudulent
treatment thus far? Have my complaints even been forwarded to your
department? I have kept all correspondence hence to present.
Kimberly Petitt
