Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan Project

On August 27, 2025, the City of McMinnville's Community Development Department and the project consultants, Sally Swanson Architects, launched the ADA Transition Plan project. The project is expected to take 12-18 months. 

What is an ADA Transition Plan? 

An ADA Transition Plan is a comprehensive review of how the City will ensure its programs, services, and facilities are accessible to people with disabilities. It includes a self-evaluation of current conditions, identification of barriers, a plan to remove those barriers, a schedule for implementation, and designation of responsible parties.

The ADA Transition Plan ensures compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), State Title 24 building codes, U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board Proposed Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right of Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG), and the Federal ADA Accessibility Guidelines and Standards (ADAAG & ADAS). 

The City of McMinnville ADA Transition Plan project will cover four areas: public rights of way (ROW), parks, buildings, and programs.
