Recent Guidance and Determinations in ADA Transportation: What are the Department of Transportation and the Federal Transit Administration Saying?

Abstract

This webcast is the first in a series of five monthly webcasts on ADA Transportation featuring Marilyn Golden of the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF).

This initial webcast will summarize the most recent regulatory and guidance documents, plus other important determinations, on ADA transportation from the US Department of Transportation (DOT) and its modal administration, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). These will include:

DOT guidance on paratransit door-to-door service
DOT proposed regulation on modification of policies, practices, and procedures
DOT proposed regulation on level boarding on rail platforms
FTA determinations on paratransit telephone hold time
DOT guidance on paratransit in rural (“5311”) systems
FTA guidance on premium services in paratransit
DOT guidance on Segways
FTA determinations regarding paratransit on-time performance and no-shows (These will be explained in more detail in the second ADA Transportation webcast on January 30)

The complete ILRU Web site was developed with support from grants from the Department of Education. However, its contents and the opinions expressed do not necessarily represent the policy of the Department of Education, and no endorsement by the Department should be assumed. ILRU is a program of TIRR (The Institute for Rehabilitation and Research), a nationally recognized medical rehabilitation facility for persons with disabilities.
