Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law enacted on July 26, 1990, that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. It ensures equal rights and opportunities in the following areas:

  • Public accommodations
  • Employment
  • Transportation
  • State and local government services
  • Telecommunications

ADA Self-Evaluation & Transition Plan

Title II of the ADA requires state and local governments to conduct a self-evaluation of services, programs, policies and activities to identify those that discriminate against or prevent participation of persons with disabilities. Additionally, Title II also requires state and local governments to develop a Transition Plan that provides for the removal of physical barriers that limit individuals with disabilities access to government services, programs and activities. The City's ADA Transition Plan focuses in three areas: (1) public buildings - access to public buildings and services; (2) recreational facilities - access to recreation facilities, including play areas, swimming pool and public parks; and (3) transportation activities (rights-of-way) - access to managed pedestrian facilities including sidewalks, pedestrian paths, curb ramps, and street crossing; (4) program accessibility - addressing any communication barriers to participation in city services.
