Accessibility

Our Accessibility Promise

We are deeply committed to making all our buildings accessible in full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and The Kansas Act Against Discrimination. Each year, we move closer to achieving full accessibility across our system. We have conducted detailed assessments of every branch and developed a short-term plan to address necessary improvements. This plan guides our efforts to make steady, meaningful progress each year, with determination and a clear focus on equity and inclusion for all. If you have questions about accessibility at a particular branch, please contact us.
