FTA today published detailed guidance<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTUxMDA1LjQ5ODY4NDYxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE1MTAwNS40OTg2ODQ2MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3NDU3OTUzJmVtYWlsaWQ9dG9sc29uMkBlc2Qud2EuZ292JnVzZXJpZD10b2xzb24yQGVzZC53YS5nb3YmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&100&&&http://www.fta.dot.gov/legislation_law/12349_16591.html> to transit agencies on how to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). With the 25th anniversary of the landmark legislation as a backdrop, the release of FTA's ADA Circular represents a major milestone in assistance to the transit community. It thoroughly explains ADA requirements for public transit, providing real-life situations as examples of good practices for the transit industry to ensure accessible services for riders. The document does not amend or supersede the DOT ADA regulations; rather, it offers explanatory scenarios and sample templates, such as a rail station checklist for new construction and alterations.
