The mission of the California Commission on Disability Access (CCDA) is to promote disability access in California through dialogue and collaboration with stakeholders including, but not limited to, the disability and business communities as well as all levels of government. CCDA is empowered by statute to act as a disability access compliance information resource, gathering and disseminating data to stakeholders and the public on the various types of construction-related physical access violations alleged in prelitigation letters and complaints.

 

CCDA’s 2024–25 strategic goals are intended to promote efficiency in data collection and analysis and further CCDA’s mission to improve access for all Californians. Specifically, in 2024–25 CCDA will:

 

  • Create a new five-year strategic plan. CCDA will embark on a yearlong planning process that will result in the development of a new five-year strategic plan.

 

  • Enhance regional outreach to small businesses. Plans are underway to conduct listening forums, online trainings, and outreach activities to small businesses in different regions of the state.

 

  • Increase our business community engagement. Utilizing census data, CCDA will develop a strategy to improve outreach to businesses that are minority owned and who represent non-English speaking communities, with the goal of reaching numerous business owners that more closely match the diversity of the communities in each region of California.
