The Commission is committed to improving accessibility for people with disabilities and supporting communities in meeting the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires public agencies, with 50 or more employees, to develop an ADA Transition Plan to remove physical barriers to accessibility for people with disabilities in transportation systems and facilities. These plans must include an inventory of the barriers, how they will be removed, when they will be removed, and who is responsible for ensuring compliance. More information on ADA Transition Plans can be found through the links under ADA Resources on this page.
Commission staff, in coordination with one of our Community Partners, Independence First, are developing a series of training sessions to assist local governments in understanding and complying with ADA requirements.
The first session on November 7, 2024, will focus on the importance of ADA and requirements in the transportation right-of-way. Click Here to Register

To maintain a smoke-free environment, please also refrain from smoking in paths of travel and doorways.
Future training sessions will be developed based on input from participants and local governments and may include topics such as:
