Which federal entity enforces Title II of the ADA?

Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) focuses on public services, including state and local government programs and activities. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is primarily responsible for enforcing this title. The DOJ ensures that individuals with disabilities have equal access to governmental services, facilities, and programs provided by state and local entities.

This enforcement includes addressing complaints about discrimination, providing technical assistance to help public agencies comply with the law, and taking legal action when necessary to uphold the rights of individuals with disabilities. The DOJ's role is crucial in upholding the ADA's goals of accessibility and inclusion for all citizens in relation to public services.

Other federal entities have different responsibilities regarding the ADA. The Department of Labor primarily deals with workplace-related issues, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) focuses on enforcement of laws against employment discrimination (which falls under Title I of the ADA), and the Department of Education manages compliance related to educational institutions (also not specifically under Title II).
