RPA has access to on-demand telephonic interpretation services with expert interpreters in more than 350 languages. Staff should be able to assist you with these interpretation services upon your call. Alternatively, you are welcome to email rpa@chattanooa.gov and staff will use available translation services to respond.
Relay Service 711
The State of Tennessee provides a free, state-wide assisted relay service at 711 so people who use text telephone (TTY) or other assisted devices are able to have phone conversations with people who do not have TTY numbers. This confidential service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week from anywhere in the United States. There is no charge to either person in the conversation. Since operators who answer use voice and TTY, dialing 711 works whether or not the person placing the call is using a TTY.
Outside of the state, Tennessee residents may call the following numbers:
800-848-0298 — Person with TTY calling someone without TTY.
800-848-0299 — Person without TTY calling someone with TTY.
