ADA Grievance Procedures

The City of El Paso is required to ensure that our facilities, services, and programs are accessible to people with disabilities and in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act Title II Regulations.

If you believe that you have been discriminated against based on your disability or have not been able to access a facility, program, or service of the City of El Paso that receives Federal financial assistance under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, please provide the details by filing a grievance using the process below. All grievances will be investigated and the grievant will be contacted in written format with the results or additional instructions on how to further proceed.

This grievance procedure is designed solely for facilities, programs, and services owned and/or operated by the City of El Paso, Texas as they relate to Accessibility and ADA.

If your grievance is related to non-City-owned businesses (Title III businesses), please visit the U.S. Department of Justice United States Department of Justice or contact the United States Department of Justice Information Line at 1-800-514-0301 for assistance.

Anyone who requires a public accommodation or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity may contact the department offering the service directly.
