WORK INCENTIVES IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1999 AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT Title I Title II Title III Title IV Title V --> THE UTAH ANTI-DISCRIMINATION ACT OF 1965 --> Resources		ADA Title II: Public Transportation & Activities    Title II covers all activities of State and local governments regardless of the government entity's size or receipt of Federal funding. Title II requires that State and local governments give people with disabilities an equal opportunity to benefit from all of their programs, services, and activities (e.g. public education, employment, transportation, recreation, health care, social services, courts, voting, and town meetings). State and local governments are required to follow specific architectural standards in the new construction and alteration of their buildings. They also must relocate programs or otherwise provide access to inaccessible older buildings, and communicate effectively with people who have hearing, vision, or speech disabilities. Public entities are not required to take actions that would result in undue financial and administrative burdens. They are required to make reasonable modifications to policies, practices, and procedures where necessary to avoid discrimination, unless they can demonstrate that doing so would fundamentally alter the nature of the service, program, or activity being provided.   ADA Title II: Public Transportation The transportation provisions of Title II cover public transportation services, such as city buses and public rail transit (e.g. subways, commuter rails, Amtrak). Public transportation authorities may not discriminate against people with disabilities in the provision of their services. They must comply with requirements for accessibility: with newly purchased vehicles make good faith efforts to purchase or lease accessible used buses remanufacture buses in an accessible manner unless it would result in an undue burden, provide para-transit where they operate fixed-route bus or rail systems Para-transit is a service where individuals who are unable to use the regular transit system independently (because of a physical or mental impairment) are picked up and dropped off at their destinations.
