Line 1:
ThisThe system'''''TTY-PASS (TTY Performance Assessment and Scoring System)''''' was established in March of 2005 through a partnership with TelecomXchange International (TXI) and the National Emergency Number Association (NENA).
 
TTY-PASS was developed in support of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requiring equal access to TTY users. The ADA states very clearly that every call-taking position within a PSAP must have its own TTY or TTY-compatible equipment. PSAPs must have systems that enable call takers to handle TTY calls as properly, promptly, and reliably as voice calls. Every call-taking position needs its own TTY equipment.
Line 5:
Further, the ADA requires that TTY equipment must be maintained and tested at least as often as voice telephone equipment, to ensure that the equipment is operating properly.
