About the Meeting:

The advisory group and the public will have the opportunity to provide information and recommendations regarding INDOT’s ADA Transition Plan and provide input to INDOT on how to improve accessibility to all INDOT programs and facilities. This includes efforts to increase the public involvement of persons with disabilities in transportation planning.

INDOT’s ADA Transition Plan examines current facilities and services for barriers to access for persons with disabilities. INDOT uses this plan to quantify and prioritize changes that will bring its programs and practices into compliance with Title II of the ADA, Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and all related statutes, regulations and directives. The current document (being revised and updated for 2018) is available for review in Microsoft Word and PDF format on INDOT’s website under "Accessibility & Non-Discrimination" at www.in.gov/indot/3583.htm.

In accordance with the “Americans with Disabilities Act”, persons with disabilities requiring assistance and/or accommodation related to the accessibility to project documents and participation at the public hearing venue, are encouraged to contact Rickie Clark, INDOT Office of Public Involvement at (317) 232-6601 [email protected]. Persons of Limited English Proficiency (LEP) requiring accommodation with regard to accessing project information and/or participation at the public hearing are also encouraged to contact the INDOT Office of Public Involvement for additional assistance. An ASL interpreter will be present to provide in-person ASL interpretation. Requests for additional auxiliary aides and services are requested to be submitted not later than 10 days prior to the meeting, though INDOT will make every effort to accommodate late requests.
