Webinar on DOJ's Updated ADA Regulations and Standards

By Scott Rains on August 10, 2010 9:58 AM

On July 26, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) issued rules to update its ADA regulations and to implement new accessibility standards for facilities. The U.S. Access Board and DOJ will conduct a free webinar on September 2, 1:30 to 4:00 (ET) on the updated regulations and standards. DOJ representatives will highlight what is new in the revised title II and title III regulations, including requirements for existing facilities. Access Board staff will review major changes in the new ADA standards which are based on accessibility guidelines established by the Board. A significant portion of the program will be reserved for an open question and answer session with the presenters.

For more details or to sign up for this webinar, visit www.accessibilityonline.org.

Other upcoming webinars in the Board's series will cover accessible routes (October 7), airport terminals (November 4), and play areas (December 2). Further information is posted on the Access Board's website at www.access-board.gov/webinars.htm.
