Access Arvada: ADA Transition Plan
Access Arvada: ADA Transition Plan
Project overview
The City maintains an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan to provide guidelines and goals to continually improve accessibility throughout Arvada. The plan is being updated to assess progress and needs since the plan’s inception in 2020. As a part of this process, the City team is seeking feedback from the community about the plan’s priorities and their lived experiences with accessibility in Arvada.
Learn more about the transition plan at arvadaco.gov/accessarvada.
Definitions
Accessibility: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines accessibility as the ability of people with disabilities to access the same programs, services, and areas as people without disabilities. This includes physical access, communication access, and equal opportunity.
Barrier: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines barriers as physical or other obstacles that prevent people with disabilities from accessing services and participating in society.
This survey will be available through Sunday, April 27. Your feedback will then be incorporated into finalizing updates to the ADA Transition Plan. The final plan will be presented to City Council and shared with the community later this year.
