Dear Friends,
DREDF
is proud to announce our publication of the Topic Guides on ADA Transportation,
a series of technical assistance documents funded under a cooperative Agreement
with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and developed by DREDF and
TranSystems Corporation.
Topic Guides on ADA Transportation bring together the requirements of the ADA and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) ADA regulation, FTA determinations,
and operational practices on each topic that comply with the ADA. The
Topic Guides also draw information from many other sources, including
DOT Disability Law Guidance; FTA ADA Compliance Reviews, Letters of
Finding, and Bulletins; Transportation Research Board and
National Council on Disability publications; National Transit
Institute courses; Easter Seals Project ACTION
publications and Distance Learning Sessions; American Public
Transportation Association draft Recommended Practices; and
the recommendations of nationally recognized ADA transit operators,
planners, and researchers on operational practices for implementing ADA
requirements.
This series of Topic Guides includes:
Equipment Maintenance
Stop Announcement and Route Identification
Eligibility for ADA Paratransit
Telephone Hold Time in ADA Paratransit
Origin to Destination Service in ADA Paratransit
On-Time Performance in ADA Paratransit
No-Shows in ADA Paratransit
