The City of Boise has a longstanding commitment to embracing cultural diversity and ensuring inclusive engagement so that every voice in our community has the opportunity to be heard. As our community continues to grow, the City of Boise recognizes the importance of a robust language access program for supporting the integration of new residents into our community.
In December of 2020, City of Boise staff received a policy brief with a recommendation to convene a Cross Disability Advisory Task Force to build on the work of the ADA Parking Committee and the ADA transition plan working group. The brief outlined the importance of elevating the full experience of a person with a disability living, working, and recreating in Boise beyond legal compliance with the ADA. In response to this brief, city staff built a taskforce comprised of six community leaders with various disabilities to bring forth recommendations to ensure Boise is truly welcoming and accessible for everyone.
