of Transportation
The Department of Transportation has adopted by reference
Appendices B and D to this part with modifications as the
regulatory standards for the construction and alteration of
transportation facilities subject to its regulations under the
Americans with Disabilities Act, effective November 29, 2006. 49
CFR 37.9 and Appendix A to 49 CFR part 37, as amended at 71 FR
63263, October 30, 2006; and corrected at 72 FR 11089, March 12,
2007. The Department of Transportation has modified section 206.3
in Appendix B to this part; and sections 406, 810.2.2, and 810.5.3
in Appendix D to this part. The modified sections adopted by the
Department of Transportation are reprinted in this appendix.
Entities that are required to comply with the Department of
Transportation's regulatory standards, must comply with modified
sections adopted by the Department of Transportation that are
reprinted in this appendix. The Department of Transportation has
provided supplemental information on the modified sections in
Appendix D to 49 CFR part 37.
Modification to 206.3 of Appendix B
206.3 Location. Accessible routes shall coincide with, or
be located in the same area as general circulation paths. Where
circulation paths are interior, required accessible routes shall
also be interior. Elements such as ramps, elevators, or other
circulation devices, fare vending or other ticketing areas, and
fare collection areas shall be placed to minimize the distance
which wheelchair users and other persons who cannot negotiate steps
may have to travel compared to the general public.
Modification to 406 of Appendix D
406.8 Detectable Warnings. A curb ramp shall have a
detectable warning complying with 705. The detectable warning shall
extend the full width of the curb ramp (exclusive of flared sides)
and shall extend either the full depth of the curb ramp or 24
inches (610 mm) deep minimum measured from the back of the curb on
the ramp surface.
Modification to 810.2.2 of Appendix D
810.2.2 Dimensions. Bus boarding and alighting areas
shall provide a clear length of 96 inches (2440 mm), measured
perpendicular to the curb or vehicle roadway edge, and a clear
width of 60 inches (1525 mm), measured parallel to the vehicle
roadway. Public entities shall ensure that the construction of bus
boarding and alighting areas comply with 810.2.2, to the extent the
construction specifications are within their control.
Modification to 810.5.3 of Appendix D
810.5.3 Platform and Vehicle Floor Coordination. Station
platforms shall be positioned to coordinate with vehicles in
accordance with the applicable requirements of 36 CFR part 1192.
Low-level platforms shall be 8 inches (205 mm) minimum above top of
rail. In light rail, commuter rail, and intercity rail systems
where it is not operationally or structurally feasible to meet the
horizontal gap or vertical difference requirements of part 1192 or
49 CFR part 38, mini-high platforms, car-borne or platform-mounted
lifts, ramps or bridge plates or similarly manually deployed
devices, meeting the requirements of 49 CFR part 38, shall
suffice.
Exception: Where vehicles are boarded from sidewalks or
street-level, low-level platforms shall be permitted to be less
than 8 inches (205 mm).
