What does Title III require of public accommodations?

• A. Non-discrimination, accessibility of goods and services, barrier removal where readily achievable, and accessible communications
• B. Non-discrimination and equal employment opportunity
• C. Accessible parking only for disabled individuals
• D. Tax credits for accessibility improvements

Answer: (D)

Public accommodations must not discriminate against people with disabilities and must ensure access to their goods and services. Title III requires removing barriers where it is readily achievable, so facilities and programs become usable by individuals with disabilities. It also mandates effective communication, meaning information and services must be accessible—through auxiliary aids, accessible formats, or other accommodations as needed. Taken together, these elements ensure both physical access and access to services and information for people with disabilities. Tax credits for accessibility improvements are not a requirement of Title III, and protections for employment are addressed under a different title. Accessible parking is important but is only one aspect of the broader accessibility obligations under Title III.
