This workshop will address subjects including: a review of basic ADA requirements for fixed route and complementary paratransit; developing and reviewing policies and procedures for your local system; eligibility and training considerations; and resources to keep informed on this ever-evolving topic. This workshop is a MUST for those responsible for ADA compliance within your organization.
