Municipality / Governments:

ACS assists municipalities in the development, update, or implementation of their ADA Title II Transition Plans. We have vast experience in the devolvement of such plans and have provided our services to some of the largest municipalities and Mass Transit departments in the country. We deliver in a timely manner a comprehensive, user friendly and cost efficient plan. As a direct result of many years of working hand-in-hand with governmental bodies in satisfying their ADA needs, the Transition Plan we create will meet or exceed the requirements established by the Department of Justice and other enforcement agencies. Municipalities must identity all architectural barriers in their facilities, parks, and public-rights-of-way and pedestrian paths of travel, and develop a Transition Plan to remove such barriers with the ultimate goal of making their services, programs, and activities accessible and usable by people with disabilities. We invite you to give us an opportunity to demonstrate in-person our services and sample work product and to answer any questions you might have.

Regulations and Enforcement Overview:

The Department of Justice enforces laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, and age in programs that receive federal financial assistance federal agencies. These laws include: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (prohibiting discrimination based on race, color and national origin), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (prohibiting disability discrimination), and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (prohibiting disability discrimination by public entities, municipalities or governments, whether or not they receive federal financial assistance). The Architectural Barriers Act requires that buildings and facilities designed, constructed, altered, or leased with certain federal funds after September 1969, must be accessible to and useable by persons with disabilities. Executive Order 13217 requires federal agencies to evaluate their policies and programs to determine if any can be revised or modified to improve the availability of community-based living arrangements for persons with disabilities. To date, the Department of Justice has filed ADA Title II lawsuits against more than 180 municipalities in over 50 states, costing municipalities billions of dollars in imposed and non-budgeted ADA remediation, fines, and attorneys’ fees and costs, as a result of not having a fully comprehensive and administered ADA Title II Transition Plan. In additional, individuals with disabilities may file a complaint with the Department of Justice and the Attorney General, or an individual lawsuit against a municipality. Individuals with disabilities have filed thousands of private lawsuits against municipalities nationwide. Under 35.178 “State immunity,” a State is not be immune under the Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution of the United States from an action in a Federal or State court of competent jurisdiction for a violation of the above-referenced Acts. In any action against a State for a violation of the requirements of this Act, remedies (including remedies both at law and in equity) are available for such a violation to the same extent as such remedies are available for such a violation in an action against any public or private entity other than a State.
