  An unfunded legal mandate ADA, which was enacted in 1990, "prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities in the areas of accessibility, employment, public services, public accommodations, transportation and communication". This means that regardless of post-secondary institutions are held legally accountable for providing all students with equal access to academic materials, facilities, or other tools necessary to graduate but it does not specifically define technological accommodations. However, under ADA, the student must seek disability services individually and provide documentation to meet admissions criteria to qualify for special accommodations.   In a 2005 unfunded mandate survey provided by the U.S. Conference of Mayors, 38 U.S. cities provided the total reoccurring annual cost of maintaining an unfunded mandate like ADA. This amount totaled to $24,445,506. 24,445,506.  Because so many legal mandates have been enacted within only the past 20 years, accessible design has not been a consideration reflected in many public institutions and facilities. A reasonable and vital goal for the U.S. public is to urge government funding within the legal mandates like ADA, which can often require cities and institutions to undergo large renovations and projects, discouraging real progress as there is not enough funding. \subsection{Initial Research}
