On the issue of program accessibility, a city, county, or
State may not deny the benefits of its programs, activities, and
services to individuals with disabilities because its facilities
are inaccessible. The services, programs, or activities, when
viewed in their entirety, must be readily accessible to and
usable by individuals with disabilities. Public entities,
however, are not necessarily required to make each of their
existing facilities accessible. See Technical Assistance Manual
at 19-20. The primary focus of program accessibility is not on
existing facilities but whether the programs, services, or
activities provided by a local government are readily accessible
to individuals with a disabilities. Program accessibility may or
may not require alterations to existing facilities.
