Which ADA titles cover public entities and public accommodations?

• A. Titles II and III
• B. Title I
• C. Title IV
• D. Title V

Answer: (A)

Public entities and public accommodations are addressed by two different ADA titles: Title II covers public entities, and Title III covers public accommodations. Title II prohibits discrimination by state and local governments and their programs and services, ensuring access to government-run activities and facilities. Title III applies to places that serve the public, such as restaurants, hotels, stores, theaters, doctors’ offices, and other private businesses offering goods or services, and it requires these places to remove barriers and provide reasonable modifications to policies when needed to allow access. Together, these two titles ensure both government programs and everyday private facilities open to the public are accessible. Other titles cover different areas (for example, employment and telecommunications), which is why they’re not the correct pair for public entities and public accommodations.
