Trending...
~ The City of Bloomington Council for Community Accessibility (CCA) has announced that they are seeking community input on the City's ADA Transition Plan. The plan, which can be accessed at bloomington.in.gov/accessible, outlines strategies to make government facilities and services accessible to individuals with disabilities. Community members are encouraged to review the plan and provide feedback at https://bton.in/TZArS until July 26, 2024.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted on July 26, 1990, and amended in 2009. Under Title II of the ADA, state and local governments are prohibited from discriminating against individuals with disabilities and must ensure equal participation in programs, services, and activities.

To comply with Title II of the ADA, local governments are required to prepare Transition Plans that identify barriers to accessibility in government facilities and outline strategies to address them. The City of Bloomington first developed its ADA Transition Plan in 1990 and completed its most recent update in 2022. Both versions can be found online at bloomington.in.gov/accessible. The draft of the 2024 plan is also available at this location.

The City's goal is to exceed ADA requirements and ensure program accessibility for individuals with disabilities in the community. Regular updates to the Transition Plan help assess progress towards this objective.

To oversee compliance efforts under Title II of the ADA, the City of Bloomington has appointed the Bloomington Human Rights Director as the ADA Coordinator. This individual also works with local businesses to communicate their obligations under Title III of the ADA. Additionally, they are responsible for investigating any alleged violations by the City.

Community members are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to review and provide feedback on the City's ADA Transition Plan before July 26, 2024. By working together, we can ensure equal access for all individuals in our community.
