ADA Transition Plan for the Public Right-Of-Way
Salem's ADA Transition Plan for the Public Right-of-Way
In 2023, the City updated its ADA Transition Plan for the public right-of-way.
What is the ADA Transition Plan for the Public Right-of-Way?
Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 is a civil rights statute created to protect persons with disabilities against discrimination in all areas of public life. This updated ADA Transition Plan for the Public Right-of-Way (ADA Transition Plan) considers the future development and management of curb ramps and audible pedestrian signals with the goal of accessibility for all within the right-of-way.
ADA Transition Plan Advisory Committee
This committee assisted with updating the ADA Transition Plan by:
- Helping inform stakeholders about the City's plan and processes regarding the removal of barriers to accessibility with the City's right of way
- Identifying where gaps currently exist in the right-of-way
Advisory Committee members represented organizations that advocate for and serve disabled populations in Salem.
