Today marks the 33rd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA), our nation’s first comprehensive civil rights law for people with
disabilities that impacts millions of Americans. The ADA bans
discrimination based on disability in the private sector and the state and
local government sectors and requires access for all Americans to programs
and services, facilities, transportation, employment, and communication. The
U.S. Access Board celebrates the ADA, which extended its mission to not
only issue and enforce the Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility
Standards
