Bellevue, Idaho is dedicated to providing equity and accessibility for people with all abilities. On July 26, 1990, President George H. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into law, which established a national mandate to guarantee equity and access to employment, public accommodations, transportation, and more for individuals with disabilities. To recognize this significant milestone, the city council has proclaimed the week of July 26th to August 31st. The city is taking steps to ensure that people with disabilities have access to resources and services in the community.
Internally, municipal staff are developing and participating in specific programs for education, promotion and an interdepartmental commitment to accessibility. Externally, Bellevue is collaborating with local and regional advocacy groups for people with disabilities to better comprehend and meet their needs. The Diversity Advantage initiative is a major part of the city's commitment to creating a more equitable place for all. If you have a disability and need an accommodation to access a city facility or program, you can make a request (ADA applications can be found on MyBellevue). The city's accessibility page provides more information about Bellevue's compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
