ADA Transition Plan for the City of Burlington

ADA Transition Plan for City of Burlington Public Facilities Overview

In an effort to make the City of Burlington’s public facilities accessible to all, the City is in engaged in developing an American with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan for the city’s public facilities. The ADA Transition Plan for public facilities demonstrates the City of Burlington’s commitment to providing equal access to all of its public programs, services, facilities, and activities for citizens with disabilities.

The Plan is intended to identify physical obstacles that limit the accessibility of facilities to individuals with disabilities, describe the methods to be used to make the facilities accessible, provide a schedule for making modifications to better provide access, and identify the public officials responsible for implementation of the Transition Plan.

The City has set the goal to fully implement the ADA Transition Plan by the end of 15 years.
