ADA Overview
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 outlaws discrimination against people with disabilities in all areas of public life.
Title II of the ADA mandates Pierce County to develop a Self-Evaluation Report (
28 CFR § 35.105) and an ADA Transition Plan (
28 CFR § 35.150). These two documents support making pedestrian facilities comply with the ADA. Both focus on county-owned facilities within the road right-of-way in unincorporated Pierce County.
- The Self-Evaluation Report looks at county policies and whether existing pedestrian facilities located in the public right-of-way comply with the ADA.
- The ADA Transition Plan outlines how Pierce County will update these pedestrian facilities to comply with the ADA.
