ADA Virtual Training Workshop for DEM Outdoor Recreation and Trail Grant Projects

Dear Municipal Partners and Associates:

All governments and public organizations must provide facilities and programs that are universally accessible by people of all ages and abilities.  In practice, this means that not only must the rest rooms in town hall be fully handicap accessible and all public areas have designated handicap parking that meet all design requirements, but that all of the programs and spaces supported with public funding must be accessible.

To assist in this goal, DEM is offering a workshop in partnership with the Rhode Island Governor's Commission on Disabilities to bring more awareness to the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA") and your responsibilities and requirements as a current or potential grant recipient of DEM outdoor recreation and trails grants.  A virtual training has been scheduled for Tuesday, April 27 from 9:30am to 12pm.  The training will include a presentation with representatives from the Rhode Island Governor's Commission on Disabilities and the regional New England ADA Center and will include time for questions.

Questions regarding the ADA may be submitted in advance of the training to Denyse Wilhelm, Assistant State ADA Coordinator at denyse.wilhelm at gcd.ri.gov<mailto:denyse.wilhelm at gcd.ri.gov>.

Please forward this invitation to others in your agency who may be interested as well as design/construction firms you contract with on grant-funded projects.

The training will be recorded and available for viewing at a later date if you are unable to attend.
