In Boulder, we believe that mobility for people of all abilities is a fundamental right. We strive to provide a transportation system with a variety of safe, accessible and sustainable travel options that connect people with each other and the places they want to go. This builds a stronger community where everyone feels a sense of belonging.
The ADA Self-Evaluation & Transition Plan is a project being completed by the City of Boulder Transportation & Mobility Department to ensure the accessibility of the city's transportation facilities, programs and services for all mobility levels. The ADA Self-Evaluation assesses how well the city’s transportation system—such as sidewalks, curb ramps, pedestrian signals and crossings, and transit stops—complies with the ADA.
With community support and feedback regarding transportation accessibility barriers, staff created an ADA Self-Evaluation Plan. Thanks to all who completed the Self-Evaluation review questionnaire! Stay tuned for the launch of the ADA Transition Plan in Summer/Fall 2021.
