The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a comprehensive civil rights law for persons with disabilities in both employment and the provision of goods and services. The ADA states that its purpose is to provide a “clear and comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with disabilities.” Congress emphasized that the ADA seeks to dispel stereotypes and assumptions about disabilities and to assure equality of opportunity, full participation, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency for people with disabilities. 

This ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan is prepared to fulfill the requirements set forth in the ADA 1991 standards Title II Regulation. The ADA states that a public entity must reasonably modify its policies, practices, or procedures to avoid discrimination against people with disabilities. This report will assist the City of Perris in identifying policy, program, and physical barriers to accessibility and in developing barrier removal solutions that will facilitate the opportunity of access to all individuals. 

This report describes the process developed to complete the self-evaluation of City of Perris’ programs, policies, and facilities; presents the findings of that evaluation; and provides recommendations and a Transition Plan for ensuring accessibility. 

This report also provides the planning and implementation of necessary program and facility modifications over the next several years. The ADA Self Evaluation and Transition Plan establishes the City of Perris’ ongoing commitment.
