CRLA Draft Accessibility Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan

Crater Lake National Park is seeking your input on a draft accessibility self-evaluation and transition plan. Your participation is important to our planning process. The plan will be open for comment for 30 days, from May 8, 2024, to June 7, 2024.

The goals of the plan are as follows:

1) Document existing park barriers to accessibility for people with disabilities.
2) Provide an effective approach for upgrading facilities, services, and programs.
3) Instill a culture around creating universal access.

The draft plan identifies key visitor experiences at the park and existing barriers to accessing these experiences for people with disabilities. The plan provides recommendations for removing barriers at priority park areas, including specific actions, example site plans, and anticipated time frames for implementation. It also addresses park policies, practices, communication, and training needs.

All recommended actions will be subject to funding, consultation with other agencies, consultation with Tribes, and compliance with federal laws, such as the National Environmental Policy Act and the National Historic Preservation Act. Moving forward, the National Park Service will use this plan as a guide to obtain funding and plan and implement projects that will improve accessibility throughout the park.

Your input on the draft plan will help us as we work to ensure that Crater Lake National Park is more accessible to all visitors. To review the draft plan and send online comments, click on "Document List" or "Open for Comment" on the left side of the web page.
