The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted by the United States Congress in 1990 to protect individuals with disabilities from discrimination in access to employment, public accommodations, governmental services and programs, telecommunications, and transportation. The law states that the ADA is "an Act to establish a clear and comprehensive prohibition of discrimination on the basis of disability."
All buildings, both old and new, must comply with the American with Disabilities Act. These resources will provide you with the vital information and technical assistance you need to be sure your project is in compliance with the ADA, and provides accessibility guidelines for individuals with disabilities to sites, facilities, buildings, and other construction elements.
These reference manuals contain specific information and technical assistance on the Americans with Disabilities Act, including Federal ADA & ABA Standards for Accessible Design, ADA Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities (ADAAG), Titles II and III, and California Accessibility Reference Manuals (CARM) with full Title 24 guidelines.
FYI: The United States Government ADA website (usdoj.gov/crt/ada) provides access to the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) regulations for businesses and state and local governments. It also contains technical assistance materials, ADA Standards for Accessible Design, and links to Federal agencies with ADA responsibilities and information.
