statement regarding inability to obtain reasonable transportation

The 1991 study referred to by a commenter ("Innovative Solutions for Disabled Transit Accessibility" Thomas J. McGean, October 1991) evaluates detectable warning materials that had been installed up to that time. %PDF-1.5 % Other commenters expressed concern about delay (one suggesting a 90-day FTA deadline) or about misleading manufacturer claims of "DOT approved" products. The Department believes that, given the safety-related reasons for a detectable warning requirement documented in the rulemaking record, deleting the requirement postponing it indefinitely, or postponing it for a lengthy period (e.g., five years) would be inadvisable. 9*H FuE~W*ETZc3: ZVch.Fbu:c _qZv&5RHO3bnK*A2~pwm@)VK8"gB2laaG INTRODUCTION. * * * * *7. The obligations would differ depending on whether the requester is a transportation entity or a manufacturer (in the latter case, the requirement would be a consultation requirement, since there is not a single community whose representatives could be involved in the normal sense of public participation). Two organizations that represent a constituency consisting primarily of persons with mobility impairments said that additional research was needed on the issue of whether detectable warnings were an obstacle or hazard to persons with mobility impairments. If a van is being used for specialized paratransit service for individuals with disabilities, then this provision-which addresses only to those vehicles. 4 Transportation barriers Manufacturers and transit providers are different kinds of entities, in different situations (e.g., a transit authority has a local "public" for which it makes sense to hold a public hearing; a manufacturer probably does not). However, nothing in the study suggests that these problems appear insuperable; nor does the study suggest that a prolonged period of time (e.g., five years) is needed for rail operators to solve these problems. One of these commenters simply said that the current rule should be left in place, without change. Another commenter said the Access Board specification for [*63094] detectable warnings should be made more precise, and that the "pathfinder" design had some international acceptance. For example, suppose there is a standing agreement between Amtrak and Commuter Authority B. An ambulatory person with a disability may be unable to stand for long periods, meaning that the person would be effectively denied access to transportation if he or she could not sit down on a crowded bus. PAGE 1958 FR 63092, *63099covered by FTA [*63100] regulations concerning priority seating-would not apply. It is a way of encouraging innovation and the application of newer technologies. Because this action had already been taken, it is not necessary for this document to further amend the regulatory text. endstream endobj startxref (ii) The entity shall make its proposed request available for public comment before the request is made final or transmitted to DOT. Fourteen commenters supported the NPRM provision as drafted. A statement of the eligibility requirements for coverage including: (A) The condition under which dependent enrollees may be added to those originally covered; (B) Any limiting age for enrollees and dependents, including effects of Medicare eli-gibility; and (C) A clear statement regarding the cover-age of newborn children. This extension applies only to detectable warnings. Phone: 202-366-6242, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE In particular, transit authorities said that safety (e.g., a potential tripping hazard), durability, and maintainability questions about detectable warnings had not been answered satisfactorily. * * * * *PAGE 2658 FR 63092, *631026. Web1. There could be other situations in which requests were made pertaining to airport, highway, or other DOT programs. Current products (including some developed. The existing rule's one car per train requirement applies, after July 1995, both to Amtrak and the commuter authorities involved. PTSB described, in some detail, how the design and operation of a particular lift model (a front door "arcing" lift manufactured by EEC, Inc., Model 141) could create specific hazards for standees. Another disability community commenter suggested a requirement that the lease of rail cars by Amtrak not be permitted to decrease the overall percentage of Amtrak's fleet that was accessible (i.e., that if Amtrak leased inaccessible cars from a commuter authority, Amtrak would have to obtain accessible cars elsewhere in order to maintain the same percentage of accessibility in its fleet that it had before the lease). Finally, the need of transit properties for time to determine which specific detectable warning product is best for their systems and to go through their procurement processes is reasonable to take into account. In the most recent case, a visually impaired individual apparently fell onto the tracks of a Maryland commuter rail system and was also fatally injured by a train. 2). If, as in many systems, the only transit employee aboard the train is in the driver's compartment in the front car, the employee will not be in a position to see who is sitting in a priority seat in the third car in the train, let alone ask someone to move from it. At the same time, given the modification discussed below, it will not impose onerous new duties on transit personnel. (iii) The entity shall sponsor at least one public hearing on the request and shall provide adequate notice of the hearing, including advertisement in appropriate media, such as newspapers of general and special interest circulation and radio announcements.

At the same time, as a matter of policy, the Department will scrutinize closely applications for equivalent facilitation. The uniformity considerations mentioned by commenters will be taken into account in this process. We received this comment from 101 commenters, 80 of whom were disability organizations or individuals with disabilities. Requirements by transportation providers that passengers use a particular accommodation are also inappropriate under the ADA. The latter group of commenters said that, in a vehicle that did not meet part 38 standards, there were safety concerns relating to door height, smoothness of operation etc. For example, Amtrak may need a certain number of cars to carry overflow traffic at Thanksgiving or Christmas on the Northeast Corridor. This language should parallel that of @ 38.95(d). The main reason for this was that, in the commenters' view, detectable warning materials need to be uniform nationwide. We also do not believe there is a strong connection between the July 1995 one car per train deadline (which pertains mostly to making service for persons with mobility impairments accessible) and the installation of detectable warnings (which pertains mostly to making platforms safe for visually impaired passengers). The NPRM proposed to modify the existing regulatory language to require transit providers to allow standees on lifts which meet part 38 specifications, or which are equipped with handrails or other devices that can assist standees in maintaining their balance. Two commenters suggested that, when possible, the driver seat disabled passengers on the right side of the bus, so that the driver could see if a passenger had problems with the securement device or needed a stop announcement. The discussion below pertains to this timing issue. The fourth change clarifies the responsibility of transit providers to make seat or wheelchair securement space available to people who need it: The fifth amendment would reflect a recent statutory change in the name of the Department's transit agency from the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Four commenters-three disability community commenters and one manufacturer-said that there should be no equivalent facilitation available for detectable warning materials. 35 0 obj <>/Filter/FlateDecode/ID[<219546CA2F0B1B4A956CBC6DFEFAA54F>]/Index[10 48]/Info 9 0 R/Length 119/Prev 123083/Root 11 0 R/Size 58/Type/XRef/W[1 3 1]>>stream Mp[ (202) 366-9306 (voice); (202) 755-7687 (TDD).

Not more than 6 inches of the required clear floor space may be accommodated for footrests under another seat provided there is a minimum of 9 inches from the floor to the lowest part of the seat overhanging the space. Thirteen of these, including ten state or local transportation agencies, supported the NPRM proposal. Entities shall not cite these determinations as indicating that a products or methods constitute equivalent facilitations in situations other than those to which the determinations specifically pertain. One disability community. Any such use of these letters, or reliance on these letters in marketing materials, is unauthorized, and potential customers for these products should disregard claims of this kind. While the procedures differ, the substantive standard is not less stringent for manufacturers: any party seeking a determination of equivalent facilitation must convince the Department that its proposal really results in equivalent or greater access. Read Liz's story. WebINABILITY TO OBTAIN. 10 0 obj <> endobj Before the issuance of the NPRM, the Department of Transportation received a number of inquiries from transportation providers concerning whether the regulatory provision on standees applies to all existing bus lifts, or only to lifts meeting the requirements of 49 CFR part 38 (the Department's adoption as its standards of the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board accessibility guidelines for vehicles). Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) 13-1803 In other words, we believe it is more important to do the job right than to do it immediately. The entity shall permit individuals with disabilities who do not use wheelchairs, including standees, to use a vehicle's lift or ramp to enter the vehicle. Secure .gov websites use HTTPS Some letters mentioned the need for detectable warnings for persons who use dogs, as well as those who use canes, as a mobility aid. The DREDF comment asserted, first, that there was no documentation of actual safety problems-data or even anecdotes-necessitating a restriction on the kinds of lifts that standees should be allowed to use. In @ 37.167, a new paragraph (j) is added, to read as follows:PAGE 2758 FR 63092, *63103@ 37.167 -- Other service requirements. Secure .gov websites use HTTPS A disability community commenter objected to the "to the extent practicable" clause for rail systems. Technology and product differentiation in the detectable warnings field does not stand still, and equivalent facilitation is an appropriate means to recognize evolution and innovation in these products. Provided, that an entity is not required to permit such individuals to use a lift Model 141 manufactured by EEC, Inc. Nine of these were state or local transportation agencies, four were disability community commenters, and one was a state or local agency working on disability matters. Lifts meeting Access Board standards will have handrails. It is a significant rule under the Department's Regulatory Policies and Procedures, since it amends the Department's Americans with Disabilities Act rule, which is a significant rule. If the entity chooses not to allow such individuals to use such a lift, it shall clearly notify consumers of this fact by signage on the exterior of the vehicle (adjacent to and of equivalent size with the accessibility symbol). For more information on requesting sign language interpreters, please visit the DRC Interpreting Services page. The requirement will apply to newly acquired vehicles and to new or replacement signs in existing vehicles. hb``g`` Moreover, unlike the falls of visually-impaired persons from platforms, allegations mentioned by some commenters that properly installed detectable warnings cause safety problems (e.g., for persons using crutches or walkers, or pedestrians wearing high heels) are not supported by any evidence of these problems actually having occurred. The extension we have provided in this rule should be adequate to permit an aggressive effort by rail properties to address successfully practical concerns about installation. B) should request an increase in audit fees so that more resources can be used to conduct the audit. Receive email updates about the latest in Safety, Innovation, and Infrastructure. INDEX. The key point in the comments, from the Department's point of view, is the absence of information documenting a safety problem resulting from standees' use of lifts. (B) The manufacturer of a product or accessibility feature to be used in the facility of such entity to comply with this part. One commenter suggested that the postponement apply here, as well. The Department believes that the ambiguities in the original Access Board guidelines have been resolved by Bulletin # 1, and that FTA letters concerning compliance with the Access Board requirements are no longer necessary. The Department will adopt the proposed provision, which appears workable both to Amtrak and disability community commenters. Some services, such as sign language interpreting, reader services, or personal assistance while on travel, can be provided by DRC on a continuing basis. Consultation with these individuals and groups shall take place at all stages of the development of the request for equivalent facilitation. The Department believes that the suggestion to publish its equivalent facilitation determinations is a good one. Again, I must emphasize he needs to be reasonably sure and NOT PAGE 558 FR 63092, *63093specifically for the rail platform market), they asserted, had solved these problems, and no delay in installation requirements was needed. This requirement applies to all fixed route vehicles when they are acquired by the entity or to new or replacement signage in the entity's existing fixed route vehicles. OTHER ACCEPTABLE DISABILITY-RELATED INQUIRIES AND MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS OF EMPLOYEES. Transit providers have asked the Department whether they have an obligation under the ADA to direct other passengers to move from designated priority seats or from fold-down seats over a wheelchair securement location when a passenger with a disability enters the vehicle. Five transit agencies noted that they provided lift service to standees without significant problems. The Department will also endeavor to respond to requests for equivalent facilitation as soon as possible. We decline to adopt suggestions that the completion date for installation of detectable warnings be established only after certain research is completed. In this case, according to a press report, the platform's edge was "marked with abrasive material" in an attempt to provide a warning to persons with vision impairments. The chance of the future event or events occurring is more than remote but less than likely. (j)(1) When an individual with a disability enters a vehicle, and because of a disability, the individual needs to sit in a seat or occupy a wheelchair securement location, the entity shall ask the following persons to move in order to allow the individual with a disability to occupy the seat or securement location:(i) Individuals, except other individuals with a disability or elderly persons, sitting in a location designated as priority seating for elderly and handicapped persons (or other seat as necessary);(ii) Individuals sitting in or a fold-down or other movable seat in a wheelchair securement location.

(2) By documenting that, when there is more than one source of intercity or commuter rail cars for a lease of seven days or less, the lessee has obtained all available accessible intercity or commuter rail cars from all sources before obtaining inaccessible intercity or commuter rail cars from any source. The final rule specifically bars claims by manufacturers that an equivalent facilitation determination constitutes a product endorsement by the Department.

Four transit agencies went further, asserting that standees should be permitted to use only those buses that fully meet the requirements of 49 CFR part 38 (the Department's ADA vehicle standards).

(4) In all signage designating priority seating areas for elderly persons and persons with disabilities, or designating wheelchair securement areas, the entity shall include language informing persons sitting in these locations that they should comply with requests by transit provider personnel to vacate their seats to make room for an individual with a disability. Share sensitive information only on official, secure websites. A disability community commenter suggested. The ADA requires the Department to adopt standards consistent with the Access Board guidelines. The Department also wants to clarify an equivalent facilitation decision it had earlier made concerning detectable warnings. The existing detectable warning requirement, without change or postponement, will continue to apply to construction of new stations and alterations of existing stations platforms.

In the NPRM, the Department sought comment on how the proposed Access Board ATM standard modifications would affect automatic fare vending and collection systems. Consistent with requirements of the ADA discussed above, persons who use canes or walkers and other standees with disabilities who cannot readily climb steps into a vehicle must be permitted to use lifts. Among other comments on this subject, one of the rail operators mentioned above thought that the postponement should apply to new and altered platforms as well as those being retrofitted.

We want to be sure that you or your employee can fully use the accommodation effectively. Lift-off problems were reported in some stations (for example, one BART station had a high lift-off rate, of about a third of tiles after 18 months, while other BART stations had low lift-off rates in the 1-10 percent range.) The qualifications are that, in the situations studied, both drivers [*63097] and standee users were trained in the proper use of lifts, handrails were available on the lifts, and operators were not required to transport a standee who refused to use the handrail. Supervisors should be aware that most technologies we purchase as an accommodation may take awhile for employees to master. This can happen in one of two ways.
