Education

Both public and private colleges and universities must provide equal access to postsecondary education. Title II covers publicly funded schools; Title III covers private ones. Schools receiving federal funding also fall under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. All programs — including extracurricular activities — must be accessible through architectural access, communication aids, and policy modifications. Accommodations must be individually designed. Postsecondary students are responsible for self-identifying with the institution's disability services office in advance of needed accommodations. Source: ADA National Network

The Department of Transportation has issued regulations requiring that all new fixed-route public transit buses be accessible. Supplementary paratransit services must also be provided for individuals with disabilities who cannot use fixed-route bus service. Source: ADA National Network
