Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that the City of Boulder make city facilities, programs, and services accessible to persons with disabilities in accordance with the standards of the ADA. Each agency is responsible for enforcing its own regulations.
