Americans with Disabilities Act

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights statute that prohibits discrimination against people who have disabilities. In accordance with the requirements of Title II of the ADA, Millcreek Township will not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities on the basis of disability in its services, programs, or activities. Millcreek Township shall make reasonable modifications in policies, practices, procedures, or programs when necessary to avoid discrimination on the basis of disability or to ensure that people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to enjoy all of the Township's programs, services, and activities. The ADA, however, does not require the Township to take any action or make any modification that would result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of the service, program, or activity or in undue financial or administrative burdens. The Township will not place surcharges on any particular individual or group of individuals with disabilities to cover the cost involved in making programs accessible or providing auxiliary aids/services or reasonable modifications of policy.
