What is the focus of Title II of the ADA?

• A. Prohibiting discrimination by private employers
• B. Prohibiting discrimination by public entities and ensuring access to programs, services, and activities of state and local governments
• C. Requiring accessibility of private housing
• D. Providing tax credits to accessibility improvements

Answer: (B)

Title II focuses on discrimination by public entities and requires access to the programs, services, and activities of state and local governments. This means public agencies—like transit systems, public schools, courts, parks, and city or state offices—must remove barriers and provide equal access in how they run programs and deliver services. They must make facilities accessible, offer reasonable modifications to policies and procedures, and ensure effective communication for people with disabilities.

Private employers are covered under a different part of the law, not Title II, and accessibility requirements for private housing fall under other legislation as well. Tax credits or incentives for accessibility aren’t the focus of Title II.
