Calendar year 2026 marks the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which was signed into law on July 26, 1990. The ADA is a landmark civil rights law that helps ensure people with disabilities have equal access to public spaces, employment opportunities, transportation, government services, and technology. The law has helped remove barriers and establish accessibility standards for people with disabilities and others in communities across the country. If you want to make this anniversary an opportunity to recognize the ADA's lasting impact and the importance of accessible environments for everyone, find an event, learn more, and share your personal, professional, or community story.
