Current ADA Transition Plan and Self-Evaluation Project
The City of Turlock is committed to fostering an inclusive and accessible community for all residents and visitors. As part of this commitment, the City is undertaking a comprehensive ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan for its public right-of-way, facilities, parks, and programs. This initiative will evaluate Turlock's infrastructure, services, and policies for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG), and other relevant standards, as well as, evaluate opportunities to create a more inclusive Turlock.What is an ADA Transition Plan?
An ADA Transition Plan is a guide that shows how the City will remove barriers to accessibility, as detailed in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).Why is it important?
It promotes equal access for people with disabilities, helps the city follow federal law, and guides how to prioritize and fund improvements to create a more inclusive community.What can the public expect to see?
Over the next few months, you will see personnel assessing City-owned facilities, parks, and pedestrian right-of-way. In the coming years, you will notice improvements like accessible ramps, upgraded sidewalks and crosswalks, clearer signs, improved facility accessibility, and easier access to City programs and services.How can the public stay involved?
