City of Bloomington seeks public feedback on ADA Transition Plan

BLOOMINGTON The City of Bloomington Council for Community Accessibility (CCA) asks residents to review and provide feedback on its ADA Transition Plan, a document that identifies accessibility barriers in City facilities, programs, services, and activities and outlines steps to address them. The plan is available at bloomington.in.gov/accessible, and community feedback will be accepted at bton.in/26ADA until May 22, 2026.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted on July 26, 1990, and amended effective January 1, 2009. Title II of the ADA prohibits state and local governments from discriminating against people based on their disability and from excluding people from participation in programs, services, or activities because of their disability.

Title II mandates that local governments prepare Transition Plans that identify barriers to accessibility in government facilities and outline strategies to make those buildings and services accessible. The City of Bloomington developed its initial ADA Transition Plan in 1990. The most recent update was completed in 2024 and is available online at bloomington.in.gov/accessible.
