Which of the following best describes the ADA coverage areas?

• A. Public transportation
• B. Public accommodations
• C. Employment
• D. Public transportation, public accommodations, employment, telecommunications, and state and local government activities

Answer: (D)

The ADA protects people with disabilities across five broad areas: employment, public accommodations, public transportation, telecommunications, and state and local government activities. This means equal chances to work and advance in a job, access to places and services like stores, restaurants, and hotels, access to transit systems, accessible communication options such as captioned media and relay services, and access to government programs and services and their facilities. The option that lists all five areas best describes the overall scope of the ADA, while choices mentioning only one or a subset don’t capture the full coverage.
