ADA Transition Plan

Under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) all state and local governments are required to identify barriers to people with disabilities and assess their programs, services, and activities.   
 
These are called self-assessments, and the results of these assessments and plans to remove accessibility barriers are documented in an ADA Transition Plan.   
 
Our department oversees the streets and sidewalks in the City of Seattle, so our ADA Transition Plan focuses on pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way. This plan also includes additional information about the Department's efforts towards compliance with the ADA and improving accessibility in Seattle.   
 
The SDOT ADA Transition Plan is considered a living document, with progress and updates to be provided periodically.    
 
Efforts have been made to ensure that this plan is accessible to all users. If you would like any of the appendices, including referenced data, maps, or any other supporting documents in an alternative format, please contact the SDOT ADA Coordinator.
