ADA and Accessibility

Under Title II of the ADA (28 CFR Sec. 35.105), public entities are required to perform a self-evaluation of their current services, policies and practices with regard to accessibility.  The goal of the self-evaluation is to verify that, in managing its programs and facilities, the Town of Blackstone is providing accessibility and not adversely affecting the full participation of individuals with disabilities.

The intent of the ADA self-evaluation is to review the Town’s entire public program, including all facilities on public property and within public rights-of-way, in order to identify any obstacles or barriers to accessibility that need to be addressed.  The general categories of items to be evaluated include:

• Communications, Information & Facility Signage
• Building Facilities – these include offices, garages and other types of buildings
• Pedestrian Facilities (Pedestrian Circulation Routes / Pedestrian Access Routes) – these include sidewalks, curb ramps, bicycle/pedestrian trails, traffic control signals and bus stops (and/or other transit facilities) that are located within the Town rights-of-way
