About the ADA Working Group, Transition Plan
Selected working group members provide information and recommendations regarding INDOT's ADA Transition Plan, including efforts to increase the public involvement of persons with disabilities in transportation planning. The voluntary consultative group meets quarterly at various locations throughout the state.
The ADA Transition Plan examines INDOT's current facilities and services for artificial access barriers to persons with disabilities. INDOT uses this plan to quantify and prioritize changes that will bring its programs and practices into compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and all related statutes, regulations and directives.
The document is available for review in Microsoft Word and PDF format on INDOT's website at www.in.gov/indot/3036.htm.
