This training is intended for municipal staff, ADA coordinators, community leaders, and anyone interested in learning how to make their communities more accessible.

The training will educate local communities on the ADA and their obligations under the law with a focus on the public right-of-way. The pilot will include an overview of CMAP’s overall ADA training program, including compressed versions of upcoming training sessions and available resources.
