Disability Awareness

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will ensure that no qualified disabled individual shall, solely on the basis of his or her disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any of its programs, services, or activities as provided by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). WSDOT further ensures that every effort will be made to provide nondiscrimination in all of its programs and activities regardless of the funding source.

WSDOT is committed to providing reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities as each situation may require. To that end, Reasonable Accommodation Procedures by either the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 have been developed and implemented.

WSDOT's ADA/504 non discrimination policy

WSDOT’s Office of Equal Opportunity is responsible for monitoring all Section 504/ADA activities. The Office of Equal Opportunity, Internal Civil Rights Branch has been appointed to coordinate the Section 504/ADA provisions of 49 CFR § 27.13.
