Municipal accessibility compliance and Commissions on Disability (CODs)

Understanding your legal obligations and how to make your community more accessible

Under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), city and town governments must make their services, programs, and activities accessible to people with disabilities. 

MOD provides information, guidance, and training to municipal governments, ADA Coordinators, and Commissions on Disability (CODs). We can help you understand and fulfill your role and responsibilities in being accessible to people with disabilities in your city or town.
