BLOOMINGTON – The City of Bloomington Council for Community Accessibility (CCA) invites community members to review and provide feedback on the City’s ADA Transition Plan.
The plan can be accessed at bloomington.in.gov/accessible, and community feedback will be accepted at https://bton.in/TZArS until July 26, 2024.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted on July 26, 1990, and amended effective January 1, 2009. Title II of the ADA prohibits state and local governments from discriminating against people based on their disability and from excluding people from participation in programs, services, or activities because of their disability.
Title II mandates that local governments prepare Transition Plans identifying barriers to accessibility in government facilities and outlining strategies to make those buildings and services accessible. The City of Bloomington developed its initial ADA Transition Plan in 1990; the most recent update was completed in 2022 and is available online at bloomington.in.gov/accessible. The draft of the 2024 plan is also available at this location.
The City aims to ensure program accessibility for individuals with disabilities in the community by meeting or surpassing ADA requirements. Regular updates assist in assessing progress towards this objective.
The City of Bloomington has appointed the Bloomington Human Rights Director as the ADA Coordinator. The ADA Coordinator oversees the City’s compliance efforts under Title II of the ADA and works with local businesses to communicate their obligations under Title III of the ADA. The ADA Coordinator is responsible for investigating any alleged ADA violations by the City.
