Under Title II, accessibility applies to which aspects of government operations?

• A. Programs and Services of Private Organizations
• B. Programs and Services of State and Local Governments
• C. Federal Programs
• D. Private Transportation Services

Answer: (B)

Accessibility under Title II focuses on the programs, services, and activities of state and local governments. This means that when a government agency runs a program or provides a service—such as city recreation programs, public meetings, courts, social services, or transit operated by a public entity—it must be accessible to people with disabilities. The obligation covers making facilities usable, ensuring effective communication (like providing accessible formats or interpreters when needed), and making reasonable modifications to policies or practices to avoid discrimination. Private organizations and federal programs aren’t covered by Title II, though other laws may apply in those contexts; private transportation services aren’t governed by Title II unless they’re operated by a government entity.
