ADA Notice

NOTICE UNDER THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, (FLHSMV), will not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities in its services, programs, or activities.

FLHSMV has two ADA coordinators, an Internal ADA Coordinator to address any employee or employment issues and an External ADA Coordinator to address any customer, public, or facility related issues.

Employment: FLHSMV does not discriminate on the basis of disability in its hiring or employment practices and complies with all regulations promulgated by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Effective Communication: FLHSMV will attempt, upon request, to provide services for persons with disabilities so they can participate equally in FLHSMV programs, including sign language interpreters, documents in Braille, and other ways of making information accessible to people who have speech, hearing, or vision impairments.

Modifications to Policies and Procedures: FLHSMV will make reasonable modifications to programs to ensure that people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to participate equally. For example, individuals with service animals are welcomed in FLHSMV offices.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies to participate in FLHSMV service, should contact the office manager as soon as possible but no later than 48 hours before the scheduled event.

The ADA does not require the FLHSMV to take action that would fundamentally alter the nature of its programs or services, or impose an undue financial burden.

Complaints that a program, service, or activity of FLHSMV is not accessible to persons with disabilities should be directed to one of the following:
