FHWA Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Webinar Series:TR ANSIT IONING TO A MORE ACCESS IBLE TOMORROW
Following the success of the 30th Anniversary Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Webinar Series in 2020, FHWA is delivering this new four-part webinar series focused on ADA transition plan implementation for Local Public Agencies (LPAs). Each of these webinars will focus on the noteworthy practices of various stakeholders in support of efforts of LPAs
to implement their transition plans and comply with ADA requirements.
The ADA is a landmark law, ensuring that people with disabilities have equality in all aspects of public life. Title II of the ADA requires removal of barriers, physical and otherwise, that limit access for people with disabilities from government facilities
and programs. Access to transportation facilities is of critical importance to all members of society. This webinar series will focus on the efforts made by LPAs and how State DOTs, MPOs and others are helping to support those efforts to ensure that access to transportation facilities is accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.
