Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Accessibility

The City of Seattle is committed to ensuring all people's access to facilities, programs and services. Executive Order 01-2012 directs City departments and offices that manage, design, construct, alter, maintain and lease City facilities and properties to comply with all applicable portions of the regulations related to Title II, including the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design.

The City's Built-Environments Compliance Team (BECT) is responsible for reviewing all City-owned and leased construction projects to ensure they comply with all ADA and accessibility requirements. If you have questions please contact us.
