The Department of Justice published revised final regulations implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for Title II (State and local government services) and Title III (public accommodations and commerical facilities) in September, 2010. These regulations contain requirements for the new and updated standards - the "2010 ADA Standard for Accessible Design." This session will provide a comprehensive review of the changes from the 1991 ADA Standard and an overview of the effective dates for use of the 2010 ADA.
The Access Board plans to publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way in the summer of 2011. The proposed guidelines ensure that sidewalks, pedestrian street crossings, pedestrian signals, and other facilities for pedestrian circulation and use located in the public right-of-way are readily accessible to and usable by pedestrians with disabilities. This session will provide an overview of the NPRM, including major issues such as alternations to existing facilities, existing facilities that are not altered, and allowances for typical roadway geometry.
