Transition Plan

Local Agency ADA Self-Evaluation, Transition Plan, and Self-Certification Status

According to the Department of Justice, more than 58 million Americans (about 19% of our population) have disabilities and they, like all Americans, participate in a variety of programs, services, and activities provided by their State and local governments. This includes many people who became disabled while serving in the military. By the year 2030, approximately 71.5 million baby boomers will be over age 65 and will need services and surroundings that meet their age-related physical needs.

An ADA Transition Plan identifies barriers to access in programs and activities. The goal is for TDOT to provide equivalent access to the maximum extent feasible. Any Appendix included in Transition Plan will be provided upon request.

  • Per the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II Regulations, TDOT must reach out to the disability community as part of the Transition Planning process to receive feedback and understand any concerns related to accessibility. Any barriers (both structural and programmatic) identified as part of this process should be documented in the agency’s ADA Transition Plan. This document should include timelines for removing the barriers.
    • In support of these efforts, TDOT conducted telephone interviews with numerous disability rights organizations across the State. The organizations were located in Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville but service clients across a wide spectrum of the State. Summaries of the phone interview responses are provided in the TDOT Disability Organization Interviews Summary Report.
    • TDOT also conducted an online survey with members of a select number of Tennessee Disability Rights Organizations. The survey was web based and a link was provided to organizations who agreed to disseminate to their constituents. Ninety-six (96) members of the disability community participated in the online survey. Detailed responses are provided in the TDOT Individuals with Disabilities Survey Summary Report.
