ADA
Technical Assistance Program
The Department of Justice ADA Technical Assistance Program
provides free information and technical assistance directly to
businesses, non-profit service providers, state and local
governments, people with disabilities, and the general public.
Our technical assistance services provide the most up-to-date
information about the ADA and how to comply with its
requirements. In addition to the major activities discussed
below, we undertake broad and targeted outreach initiatives to
increase awareness and understanding of the ADA to reach
specific audiences at the local level, including hotels and
motels, restaurants, small businesses, builders, mayors and town
officials, law enforcement, people with disabilities, and
others.
ADA Information Line
Our toll-free ADA
Information Line provides information and free publications
about the requirements of the ADA including the ADA Standards
for Accessible Design.

ADA Materials
As part of our enforcement and technical assistance efforts to
promote compliance with the ADA, we provide a range of
publications. These include the regulations that apply to State
and local governments (Title II) and those that apply to
businesses and non-profit service providers (Title III);
Technical Assistance Manuals with yearly updates that explain
these regulations; and materials that promote understanding of
specific ADA requirements including a series of
Question-and-Answer publications addressing specific topics, and
a series called ADA-TA aimed at businesses, State and local
governments, architects, and others explaining efficient ways to
comply with the ADA. These and other items, plus an annotated
list describing our materials can be obtained through the ADA
Information Line.
Department of Justice regulations, Technical Assistance Manuals
and publications are available for viewing and downloading. Some
are also available in PDF (Adobe Acrobat) format.
