DRC Launches New Interpreting Contract

Exciting news from the DRC! We're thrilled to share that we've recently awarded the Nationwide Sign Language & Captioning Contract to Friends Interpreting Services, in partnership with Deaf Access Solutions. The new contract started on January 2, 2024. We're delighted to inform you that our previous program manager and interpreters have smoothly transitioned to this new contract. This ensures a seamless continuation of top-notch services throughout the year.

While transition has gone smoothly, we encountered a minor hiccup with our email system at the very beginning. Our dedicated contractor promptly resolved the issue. If you have any other concerns, please reach out to us at DRC.Interpreters@dot.gov or marcuskeith.island@dot.gov. Your feedback helps us enhance our services and ensure timely resolutions.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding during this transition. Here's to a fantastic year ahead, and we’re so happy that we can continue to provide you with exceptional services!
