The American's with Disabilites Act of 1990, (ADA) requires that commercial facilities, and places of government, public accommodations, transportation and telecommunications facilities must provide equal and equivalent access to individuals with disabilities. In addition to the Federal ADA requirements, each State has State specific requirements which must be used in conjunction with the Federal requirements to meet accessibility requirements.
