ADA and Municipal Governments: Is Your City or Town Meeting its ADA Responsibilities?

Although the range of public services varies from town to town, it is essential that people with disabilities have the opportunity to participate in the programs and services that municipalities offer. Applying for a building permit, attending a town meeting or street festival, or playing ball in the local park, for example, all are typical programs, activities or services covered by the ADA.    

Join New Hampshire's Department of Transportation's John Ankenbrock, Chief of Labor Compliance, who will outline these requirements for municipal facilities, including new construction or alterations, communications with the public, and policies and procedures governing municipal programs, services and activities. This webinar will focus on the necessity for an ADA Transition Plan and provide some helpful tips on how small towns and big cities can comply with the ADA.

This webinar is open to members of the New Hampshire Municipal Association and is of special interest to land use boards, planners, and any other local official or employee dealing with responsibility for access to physical accommodations and municipal programs and services.
