The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law in 1990. This law extends civil
rights protection to persons with disabilities in private sector employment, all public services, and in
public accommodations, transportation and telecommunications. A person with a disability is defined as
someone with a mental or physical
impairment
that substantially limits him or her in a major life
activity, such as walking, talking, working, or self-care. A person with a disability may also be someone
with a past record of such impairment, for example, someone who no longer has heart disease but is
discriminated against because of that history.
The ADA reckons that employers with fifteen or more employees may not refuse to hire or
promote a person because of a disability if
he is qualified to perform the job. Also, the employer must
make reasonable accommodations that will allow a person with a disability to perform essential functions
of the job.
All new vehicles purchased by public transit authorities must be accessible to people with
disabilities. All rail stations must be made accessible, and at least one car per train in existing rail systems
must be made accessible.
It is illegal for public accommodations to exclude or refuse persons with disabilities. Public
accommodations are businesses and services such as restaurants, hotels, grocery stores and parks. All new
buildings must be made accessible, and existing facilities must remove barriers if the removal can be
accomplished without much difficulty or expense.
The ADA also stipulates that companies offering telephone service to the general public must offer relay
services to individuals who use telecommunications devices for the deaf, twenty-four hours a day, seven
days a week.
