Public Encouraged to Comment on the Newly Updated ADA Transition Plan

The Oregon Department of Transportation released its newly updated Americans with Disabilities Act Transition Plan for public comment.

A fully inclusive transportation system is critical to fulfilling ODOT's mission. ODOT's Transition Plan was developed by listening to the experiences of people with disabilities, reviewing technical standards for accessible design, and following the priorities set by the Oregon Transportation Commission, federal requirements, and ODOT's commitment to prioritize curb ramp and pedestrian signal accessibility under the agency's settlement agreement with independent living advocates. 

The settlement requirements were reflected in the 2017 transition plan and are also included in this update. Recognizing that six years have passed since the last plan update, ODOT has updated its transition plan to reflect our progress with ADA implementation, to describe our broader goals for universal accessibility to the state transportation system, and to align with the agency's  <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm9yZWdvbi5nb3Yvb2RvdC9QYWdlcy9TQVAtRXF1aXR5LmFzcHgiLCJidWxsZXRpbl9pZCI6IjIwMjMwNDI2Ljc1ODA5MjIxIn0.LQfOB5uf79CFvpGLVKTzKy7haujvVPL1HxwqWl_bcjA/s/2991479494/br/166590495794-l> Equity Priority in our  <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm9yZWdvbi5nb3Yvb2RvdC9wYWdlcy9zYXAuYXNweCIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzA0MjYuNzU4MDkyMjEifQ.xiUqE9Bg7d_5ffEoxqYSlyPwCjOJtiAUSZ0EFpXyTKU/s/2991479494/br/166590495794-l> Strategic Action Plan and new  <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDQsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm9yZWdvbi5nb3Yvb2RvdC9QbGFubmluZy9QYWdlcy9PcmVnb24tVHJhbnNwb3J0YXRpb24tUGxhbi1VcGRhdGUuYXNweCIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzA0MjYuNzU4MDkyMjEifQ._xDr-ZNHP1W5nTZNDDiXuZnBkhtK2VoLJ-PVNSxpI1g/s/2991479494/br/166590495794-l> Oregon Transportation Plan.
