Morning Session – ADA in the Public Right-of-Way – 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
In 2023, the US Access Board promulgated new accessibility guidelines for pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way. While these guidelines have yet to be completely adopted by the relevant federal agencies, they do provide good guidance on the design of these facilities. This session will discuss those guidelines and which entities may be subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act. This session will cover major parts of the new guidelines, including on-street parking, curb ramps, transit stops/shelters, and scoping requirements. Differences between these guidelines and the ADA Standards for sites will be reviewed.
Afternoon Session – ADA for Site Design – 12:30 PM – 4:30 PM
This session will examine accessible design standards for sites outside of public rights-of-way. The scoping requirements for accessible routes will be reviewed, as well as the building blocks for accessible design of routes. The design standards for various components of accessible routes will be covered, including ramps, curb ramps, stairways and handrails. Site arrival point scoping and design standards will be covered as well (parking, passenger loading zones and bus stops).
