ADA.gov is the official website of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), operated by the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division. It serves as a hub for information on the ADA, which is a law that protects individuals with disabilities from discrimination in many areas of public life, such as employment, transportation, public accommodations, and access to state and local government programs and services.
The website provides resources and guidance on how the law works, outlines individuals' rights under the ADA, and details the obligations of businesses, government entities, and employers to comply with the law's requirements. For example, the ADA covers the necessity for telecommunications relay services and closed captioning for federally funded public service announcements.
ADA.gov is also a gateway for filing complaints about disability rights violations and includes a comprehensive list of resources, guidance materials, and legal standards related to disability rights and accessibility standards.
