ADA Accessibility Icons for Cognitive, Speech, Visual, Auditory, and Motor Disabilities

Project Overview

The Town of Carrboro is currently in the process of developing an ADA Transition Plan to be in compliance with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). This multi-year process involves performing a self-evaluation of all Town programs, services, activities, events, sites, and public facilities for accessibility and developing a schedule to remove any barriers.

Follow this page for updates and upcoming opportunities to help shape the plan.
