What is ADA?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law on July 26, 1990. The ADA is one of the United States' most comprehensive pieces of civil rights legislation that prohibits discrimination and guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else to participate in the mainstream on American life.

ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan
 

• The Self-Evaluation is the City's assessment of its current policies, practices, and procedures and subsequent recommendations to correct these policies and practices so they are consistent with Title II requirements.
• The Transition Plan identifies physical barriers in the City's facilities and outlines methods to ensure that all programs, activities and services are fully accessible to individuals with disabilities.
