The ADA Toolkit is an expansion of the ADA section of the Transit Manager's Toolkit, and it is designed to give transit managers information about what they are required to do, based on the service they provide, under ADA regulations. The toolkit contains links to the ADA regulations, as well as a variety of helpful resources. It also highlights new topics and developments that relate to the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The ADA Toolkit addresses the following topics:
- New developments that relate to ADA
- ADA requirements by service type- fixed, demand response and deviated route/flexible
- ADA complementary paratransit
- Physical standards- vehicles and facilities
- Mobility device rule change
- Service animals
- Customer service and sensitivity
- Public meetings and outreach
- Rider information
- Resources- FTA circulars and guidance, guides and publications, reports, websites, and training options
Patti Monahan, Executive Director of National RTAP, says: "If you are a transit manager who has ever received questions about stop announcements, service animals or paratransit eligibility, you can turn to this toolkit to find resources and information about the ADA regulations that apply to your agency."
