ADA Title II Action Guide for State and Local Governments

Are self-evaluations and transition plans required to be updated?

As many people know, the self-evaluation was supposed to be conducted and the transition plan developed in the late part of the 20th century (1992-3). That’s a long time ago. Although there is no requirement to update them, updating is the best means to ensure compliance with current regulations and design standards. A lot has changed in 27 years. The current (2010) ADA Standards have design requirements for swimming pools, play areas, fishing piers, golf courses, accessible routes to ball fields and more. The current ADA Title II regulations address service animals as only dogs, miniature horses, ticketing policies, video-remote interpreting and other power-driven mobility devices. Public entities must make sure they are in compliance with the current reguations. [sic]
