TDOT’s Impact Committee

TDOT has become increasingly proactive in ensuring ADA/504 Public Accessibility Compliance is incorporated into the way the TDOT conducts business. TDOT is undertaking many initiatives at the strategic, policy and implementation levels to ensure TDOT is fully compliant with ADA/504 and playing a key role in achieving full accessibility for all those who live, work and travel in the State of Tennessee. To effectively evaluate the impact of these initiatives, and the impact of ADA/504 on TDOT, an Impact Committee was formed to meet as needed and address any issues. This Committee also ensures TDOT has a system for periodically reviewing and updating compliance measures. Impact Committee Members include:

• ADA Office – Margaret Mahler (Committee Chair) - ADA/504 Coordinator
