Final Rule Stage
234. Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public
Right-of-Way
Legal Authority: 42 U.S.C. 12204, Americans With Disabilities Act;
29 U.S.C. 792, Rehabilitation Act
Abstract: This rulemaking would establish accessibility guidelines
to ensure that sidewalks, pedestrian street crossings, pedestrian
signals, and other facilities for pedestrian circulation and use
constructed or altered in the public right-of-way by State or local
governments are accessible to and usable by individuals with
disabilities. The rulemaking in RIN 3014-AA41 that would establish
accessibility guidelines for shared use paths that are designed for
bicyclists and pedestrians and are used for transportation and
recreation purposes is merged with this rulemaking. A second notice of
proposed rulemaking (Second NPRM) would propose to add provisions for
shared use paths to the accessibility guidelines for pedestrian
facilities in the public right-of-way. The U.S. Department of Justice,
U.S. Department of Transportation, and other Federal agencies are
expected to adopt the accessibility guidelines for pedestrian
facilities in the public right-of-way as enforceable standards in
separate rulemakings for the construction and alteration of facilities
covered by the Americans With Disabilities Act, section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act, and the Architectural Barriers Act.
