ADA Transition Plan

In the 2017 City of Longview Work Plan, the Human Resources Department was tasked with addressing an actionable item under the Addressing Quality of Place Issues initiative. As part of this work plan, the City Council made it a priority to accomplish the following:

  • Complete a City of Longview transition plan base document. 
  • Transition plan stakeholders will complete applicable Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) self-assessments, integrating that work into transition plan project lists that address access to services, activities, buildings, and right-of-ways within the City of Longview.
  • Create project lists by transition plan section, revising and updating on a periodic basis.
  • By resolution, #2223, establish a City of Longview Accessibility Advisory Committee (CLAAC).  This committee will operate under charter as approved by City Council.   Committee deliverable tasks are identified in the City of Longview Accessibility Advisory Committee charter.

 With the establishment of the City of Longview Accessibility Advisory Committee, this committee has been tasked with the following:

  • Assist the city, and its staff, in reviewing and advising on the prioritization of projects to improve accessibility to city services and activities.  Those services include, but are not limited to, parks and recreation, RiverCities Transit, and other City of Longview provided services.
