ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan
How You Can Help – New Mexico residents’ feedback is needed. Please scan the QR code or go to www.accessforall-nmcourts.com to obtain additional information about the project and to take the survey.The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination in access to jobs, public accommodations, government services, public transportation, and telecommunications. The ADA requires all public entities with over 50 employees to complete an ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan to find barriers that may prevent individuals with disabilities from participating in court activities, programs, or services or from entering or moving throughout our buildings.
The New Mexico Courts have contracted with Altura Solutions, LLC, to conduct an ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan, including in-person building and court services assessments. Altura Solutions will conduct site visits to assess buildings and other physical assets and seek input from people who use the courts in areas where ADA improvements are needed.
