Make an Accommodations Request

The Americans with Disabilities Act is a federal civil rights law that provides people with disabilities equal access to employment (Title I), state and local government programs (Title II), and goods and services (Title III). The City of Pittsburgh is committed to making City programs, services, and facilities accessible to all people. 

The City will not place a surcharge on any disabled person or group to cover the cost of auxiliary aids/services or other reasonable accommodations. 

ADA Accommodation Request Form

This form is only for accommodation requests pursuant to Title II - Public Services of the ADA. Please note:
