Project Overview

The City of Tacoma will work with a consultant to evaluate accessibility metrics, then develop an ADA Transition Plan. The plan will incorporate actions and policies outlined in Tacoma’s Vision Zero Action Plan, Transportation and Mobility Plan, and Comprehensive Plan.

The Self-Evaluation component includes:

  • A comprehensive assessment of all facets of accessibility in Tacoma’s public right-of-way
  • Measurements of accessibility criteria for sidewalks, curb ramps, traffic signals, bus stops, and driveway curb cuts in the public right-of-way
  • An assessment of existing policies and procedures
  • Significant public outreach and involvement efforts to assist the City in identifying issues and prioritizing projects

Other components of the ADA Transition Plan will:

  • Identify all barriers to accessibility in the public right-of-way
  • Describe methods that will be used to achieve accessibility
  • Create a prioritized schedule to remove barriers
  • Identify the person responsible for the implementation of the plan
