ADA Enforcement Activities
Department of Education which is designated by the ADA to enforce Title II in public elementary and secondary education systems and institutions, public institutions of higher education and vocational education (other than schools of medicine, dentistry, nursing, and other health-related schools for which the Department of Health and Human Services is responsible), and public libraries. Complaints related to employment are referred to the EEOC or are reviewed by the Office of Civil Right in the U.S. Department of Education. The Department of Education web site has information about ADA as does ADA National Access for Public Schools Project.
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces Title I provisions prohibiting discrimination in employment against qualified individuals with disabilities. The EEOC investigates complaints filed by job applicants or employees who believe they have been discriminated against under the ADA. The EEOC web site has a section on enforcement activities, guidances, and policies.
Department of Transportation enforces and provides technical assistance concerning the ADA provisions that require nondiscrimination in public and private mass transportation systems and services. A site search resulted in a list of ADA references on the DOT web site.
Federal Communications Commission enforces and provides technical assistance concerning the telecommunication provisions of Title IV of the ADA, which require that companies offering telephone service to the general public offer telephone relay services to individuals who use TDDs or similar devices. The FCC also enforces the requirements for closed captioning of federally produced or federally funded television public service announcements. The FCC web site has a section on disability issues.
