Due to advancements in\ntechnology, telephone devices have evolved with new services and capabilities. Individuals who are deaf and hard of\nhearing, and individuals with a speech disability are following these trends and are rapidly migrating to more advanced\ntelecommunications methods, both for peer-to-peer and third-party telecommunications relay service (TRS)\ncommunications.\nTelecommunications Relay Service is a telephone service that allows persons with hearing or speech disabilities to place\nand receive telephone calls. TRS is available in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories\nfor local and/or long distance calls. TRS providers - generally telephone companies - are compensated for the costs of\nproviding TRS from either a state or a federal fund. There is no cost to the TRS user.\nWhat forms of TRS are available? There are several forms of TRS, depending on the particular needs of the user and the\nequipment available: TRS includes: Text to Voice TIY-Based TRS; Speech-to-Speech Relay Service; Shared Non-English\nLanguage Relay Service; Captioned Telephone Relay Service; Internet Protocol Relay Service; and Video Relay Service.\nPlease visit this site for detailed descriptions, https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications-relay-\nservice-trs.\nDon't hang up! Some people hang up on TRS calls because they think the Communications Assistant (CA) is a\ntelemarketer. If you hear, "Hello. This is the relay service ... "when you pick up the phone, please don't hang up! You are\nabout to talk, through a TRS provider, to a person who is deaf, hard-of-hearing, or has a speech disability.\nFor more information about FCC programs to promote access to telecommunications services for people with disabilities,\nvisit the FCC's Disability Rights Office website.\nCity Planning Commission 5 March 23, 2023
