The ADA Compliance Division works directly with all City agencies to establish and update policies, guidelines, standard operating procedures, and best practices for achieving ADA compliance in all its programs and services. 

How does this affect me?

Whether you are a person with disabilities or not, being ADA compliant ensures that every aspect of a community is accessible to every member of the community, whether that be:

• Transportation
• Walkways/ roadways 
• Parks/ Open Public Spaces
• Buildings 
• Restaurants 
• Parking
