The Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in 1990 as a step towards the elimination of discrimination against individuals with disabilities. ADA Title II requires communities to establish self-evaluations and transition plans. Title II covers programs, activities, and services of government entities with a specific focus on protecting citizens from discrimination on the basis of disability. The goal of this act is to afford every individual the opportunity to benefit from the patronage of all Americans.
The City of Early (“City”) approved its first ADA Transition Plan on 11/10/2025. This document will continue to guide the planning and implementation of necessary program and facility modifications over the next several years. The ADA Transition Plan is significant in that it establishes the City of Early’s ongoing commitment to the development and maintenance of policies, programs, and facilities that include all residents.
