Chiricahua Nat'l Monument Accessibility Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan (SETP)

Chiricahua National Monument » Chiricahua Nat'l Monument Accessibility Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan (SETP) » Document List

Chiricahua National Monument staff worked with National and Regional experts to conduct a self-evaluation of accessibility parkwide. Chiricahua National Monument's Accessibility Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan (SETP) will include findings from the self-evaluation process, as well as a plan for improving accessibility. The Accessibility SETP will be developed by a National Park Service (NPS) interdisciplinary team, including planning, design, and construction professionals; and interpretive, resource, visitor safety, maintenance, and accessibility specialists. Site plans, photographs, and specific actions for identified park areas will be developed. Associated time frames and implementation strategies will be established to assist NPS park staff in scheduling and performing required actions and to document completed work. Park policies, practices, communication, and training needs will also be addressed.

The goals of the plan are to:
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 evaluation identified areas where the park can improve accessibility of physical assets and facilities, as well as programming and digital resources. Moving forward, the park will use this plan as a guide to obtain funding and plan projects that will improve accessibility at Chiricahua National Monument.

We are currently drafting the Accessibility SETP. Your input on the draft plan will help us prepare the Final Accessibility Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan that we will use to ensure that Chiricahua National Monument is more accessible to all visitors.
