ADA/504 Transition Plan
ADA/504 Policy Statement
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and related federal and state laws and regulations forbid discrimination against those who have disabilities. Furthermore, these laws require federal aid recipients and other government entities to take affirmative steps to reasonably accommodate the disabled and ensure that their needs are equitably represented in transportation programs, services, and activities.
The City of Lake Alfred will make every effort to ensure that its facilities, programs, services, and activities are accessible to those with disabilities. The City of Lake Alfred will make every effort to ensure that its advisory committees, public involvement activities, and all other programs, services, and activities include representation by the disabled community and disability service groups.
The City of Lake Alfred encourages the public to report any facility, program, service, or activity that appears inaccessible to those who are disabled. Furthermore, the city will provide reasonable accommodation (free of charge) to disabled individuals who wish to participate in public involvement events or who require special assistance to access facilities, programs, services, or activities. Because providing reasonable accommodation may require outside assistance, organization, or resources, the City asks that requests be made at least five (5) calendar days prior to the need for accommodation.
