Accessible Boulder: ADA Self-Evaluation & Transition Plan

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

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.

Watch this page for further details or sign-up for the ADA Plan email list to keep informed about upcoming events and feedback opportunities.

    First, a huge thank you to our Be Heard ADA Plan community for your contributions through this channel, as well as in-person feedback.

    Staff continues to work remotely as we finalize the ADA Self-Eval Plan. Given the cancellation of What's Up Boulder where project staff planned to share a draft of the Plan with the community, we are in the process of determining whether to hold off on presenting the draft Plan until COVID-19 gathering restrictions can be lifted or sharing at least an Executive Summary remotely to gather your thoughts and feedback while we sort out next steps.

    Be sure to sign up for our eNews and watch this page for updates.

    We encourage you to visit this new Community in the Time of COVID-19 Be Heard page to keep connected and engaged during this challenging time.

    Mobility for people of all abilities is a fundamental right. That's why the City of Boulder is evaluating how well the city's transportation system complies with the ADA to determine areas for improvement, from uneven sidewalks to missing curb ramps.

    To help create a plan for mobility improvements, staff has gathered feedback from community members with disabilities and those who care for individuals with disabilities. Below are the top five barriers to transportation accessibility in Boulder heard from the community, which you can also view in this infographic.
