PA to Host ADA Transition Plan Training - Oct. 11
The Palm Beach TPA will train local government and private sector representatives at an ADA transition plans workshop on Oct. 11. The instructor will be Dean Perkins, Florida Dept. of Transportation's ADA Coordinator. The time will be 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, and the location will be on the first floor of the Vista Center at 2300 N. Jog Rd., West Palm Beach, FL 33411. Even those who have not pre-registered are welcome to attend.
The Palm Beach TPA is required by federal agencies to sign assurances that all recipients of federal funds allocated by the TPA have ADA transition plans in place. ADA transition plans outline a jurisdiction's assessment and plans for bringing their infrastructure into compliance with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
