What ADA and Title VI cover

ADA (Title II) requires public entities to provide reasonable modifications and accessible facilities and communications. Title VI prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs receiving federal financial assistance. City departments implement these obligations in service delivery, public meetings, permitting, and facilities.

Provide your name, contact details, the program or meeting, the accommodation requested, and any supporting information or deadlines. The City of Las Vegas maintains information about requesting ADA accommodations through its official pages [1] and federal enforcement and guidance is available from the U.S. Department of Justice and federal agencies [2].
