ADA Programs promotes equity for persons with disabilities by coordinating physical and programmatic access compliance in all city programs, activities, and services. Dedicated staff manage various disability civil rights compliance activities so that individuals with disabilities can thrive and live independently.
ADA Programs coordinates multi-million dollar infrastructure improvement programs, resolves disability civil rights grievances and formal complaints, implements settlement agreements, and assists departments in making their programs, activities, and services welcoming and accessible to all.
ADA Programs also staffs the Mayor's Commission on Persons with Disabilities (MCPD), and is supported by a network of Departmental Access Coordinators (DACs).
