While managers and employees are experts in their respective fields, they may not know how to go about providing specific reasonable accommodation solutions for different situations. Doing so will increase the likelihood that, when installed, detectable warnings do their intended job well without creating unnecessary problems for either passengers or transit providers. This issue attracted, by far, the greatest number of comments of any issue raised by the NPRM. 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. At the request of commenters, the original January 19, 1993, comment closing date was extended through February 19, 1993. One transit agency suggested explicitly excluding paratransit vans used for passengers with disabilities from this policy. You need to document why you needed the missing records, and why they The Department encourages the use of such accommodations, in the interest of improving safe and convenient service to passengers. If a range of reasonable estimates is supported by sufficient appropriate audit evidence and the recorded estimate is outside of the range of reasonable 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. * * * * *[FR Doc. A number mentioned the crowded, noisy, distracting atmosphere of rush hour train stations as being a situation in which a tactile cue like a detectable warning is particularly important. We also agree with the commenters who suggested that priority seating signs should specify that non-disabled persons should move to make room for someone who needs a priority seat. (6) Determinations of equivalent facilitation are made only with respect to transportation facilities, and pertain only to the specific situation concerning which the determination is made. The discussion below pertains to this timing issue. Four. We believe the changes to the process suggested in the NPRM-concerning the ability of the various DOT operating administrations to make these determinations and having different procedural steps for manufacturers and transportation providers-are reasonable. The ADA requires the Department to adopt standards consistent with the Access Board guidelines. This is important, among other reasons, because based on the premise that standees can use lifts, the Access Board found it unnecessary to establish a standard for stair riser heights in vehicles that use lifts. Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA") (1) limits an employer's ability to make disability-related inquiries or require medical examinations at three stages: pre-offer, post-offer, and during Read Liz's story. Other commenters suggested adding safeguards to ensure accessibility. The study identified cleaning, maintenance, and installation deficiencies as factors leading to lift-off, in addition to adhesive failure and temperature effects. In the course of preparing this document, DOT staff noticed two technical errors in 49 CFR part 38. The conclusion the Department draws from this study is that there are documented practical problems with the installation and maintenance of some detectable warning materials, which it is necessary for transit properties to address if their installation of detectable warnings is to be successful. 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. A driver cannot be expected to intuit the existence of a disability that is not apparent. They viewed the separate provision for private entities (such as manufacturers) as being a less stringent standard, which would allow manufacturers to circumvent the standards in the rule. They suggested that public and private entities be subject to the same procedures. Two commenters suggested that it would help matters if the standard language on the sign above the priority seats was reworded to say that other passengers were expected to move if a disabled person showed up and needed the space. In issuing the NPRM, the Department stated that the existing design for detectable warnings standard fulfills detectability and safety requirements. The commenters who suggested that DOT not make equivalent facilitation determinations are suggesting, in effect, that DOT adopt this approach. The NPRM proposed updating the terms used in the Department's ADA rules to conform to the ISTEA changes. 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.

(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. 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. The uniformity considerations mentioned by commenters will be taken into account in this process. X The Department will also endeavor to respond to requests for equivalent facilitation as soon as possible. This can happen in one of two ways. The Other comments addressed a variety of concerns. Twenty-six commenters favored the NPRM approach. (Since few transit authorities have actually installed detectable warnings to date, most commenters could not assert that they had directly experienced problems, however.) If there are conductors or other transit personnel present in the passenger compartments, they would make the request when they saw a situation calling for it. 12101-12213); 49 U.S.C. In @ 37.165, paragraph (g) is revised to read as follows:@ 37.165 -- Lift and securement use. It is a way of encouraging innovation and the application of newer technologies. Entities shall not cite these determinations as indicating that a product or method constitute equivalent facilitations in situations other than those to which the determinations specifically pertain. People using canes or walkers and other standees with disabilities who do not use wheelchairs but have difficulty using steps (e.g., an elderly person who can walk on a plane without use of a mobility aid but cannot raise his or her legs sufficiently to climb bus steps) must also be permitted to use the lift, on request. The sixth change would modify the good faith efforts that Amtrak and commuter rail operators would have to make in order to lease used rail vehicles. Given the differences between the bus and rail contexts, and the specific requirements that the ADA applies to rail, it does not seem appropriate to apply the "don't diminish fleet accessibility percentage" rule to this situation. The study also noted ongoing efforts at improving detectable warning materials. For example, Amtrak may need a certain number of cars to carry overflow traffic at Thanksgiving or Christmas on the Northeast Corridor. The final rule specifically bars claims by manufacturers that an equivalent facilitation determination constitutes a product endorsement by the Department. The ability to gather this information is an additional reason for providing the extension. * * * * *, 8. One transit authority thought it should be able to self-certify as to an equivalent facilitation, without FTA approval. The Department will adopt the proposal, believing that requests by drivers that other passengers move from priority seats will assist in making transportation genuinely accessible for passengers with disabilities.

INDEX. * * * * *(d)(1) For purposes of implementing the equivalent facilitation provision in section 2.2 of appendix A to this part, the following parties may submit to the Administrator of the applicable operating administration a request for a determination of equivalent facilitation:(i)(A) A public or private entity that provides transportation facilities subject to the provisions of subpart C this part, or other appropriate party with the concurrence of the Administrator;(ii) With respect to airport facilities, an entity that is an airport operator subject to the requirements of 49 CFR part 27 or regulations implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act, an air carrier subject to the requirements of 14 CFR part 382, or other appropriate party with the concurrence of the Administrator. In the NPRM, the Department sought comment on how the proposed Access Board ATM standard modifications would affect automatic fare vending and collection systems. The Department believes that this period should give transit properties sufficient time to work out the installation and related problems to which the comments referred. It is a way of providing a reasonable sense of security to regulated parties that accessibility modifications they make will comply with ADA requirements. 4 Transportation barriers The proposal would also require that if the borrower had a choice of obtaining cars from more than one source, it would obtain the cars from a source that had accessible cars before it obtained inaccessible cars from the other source. Part 38 and appendix A to part 37 both contain provisions concerning equivalent facilitation. 2. 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. Liz has low vision and uses assistive technologies to assist her with the essential functions of her job in the Office of Human Resources. Web1. 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. There could be other situations in which requests were made pertaining to airport, highway, or other DOT programs. The warning must be of a contrasting color (i.e., dark vs. light) and texture (i.e., truncated domes vs. smooth surface), as well as (in the case of interior surfaces) differing from the platform in resiliency and sound-on-cane contact. 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. For these reasons, the Department will continue to make equivalent facilitation determinations. DOT is committed to maintaining public safety while providing maximum flexibility to allow transportation industries to conduct their operations safely and FTA previously made this change for all the regulations in Subchapter VI of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations. 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. 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. Web(7) Eligibility. INTRODUCTION. Three commenters suggested that buses carry an on-board wheelchair that standees could choose to use. Four rail operators suggested that the 18 months should start to run from the time that FTA or the Access Board completed its research on detectable warnings. In Boston, a blind individual received fatal injuries when she fell off a platform and received a shock from the electrified "third rail." The Act defines a person with a disability to include (1) individuals with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life PAGE 558 FR 63092, *63093specifically for the rail platform market), they asserted, had solved these problems, and no delay in installation requirements was needed.

Secure .gov websites use HTTPS The problematical features of this lift, as described by the PTSB, include an unusually low head clearance, the tilting action of the lift as it enters the bus, and a "pit" between the lift and the bus entrance when the lift is fully raised but has not entered the bus. These situations, some of which were recounted by fall victims themselves in detail, were in addition to cases in which visually-impaired passengers almost fell off, or had become very fearful of walking on, rail station platforms. An entity wishing to employ equivalent facilitation * * * shall submit a request to UMTA or FRA, as applicable, and include the following information: (list of five items of information). Converts for an unauthorized term or use The rule makes these corrections, which have no substantive effects. One commenter suggested that the postponement apply here, as well. Reasonable accommodations may include changes which may be necessary in order for the person with a disability to use and enjoy a dwelling, including public and common use spaces, or participate in the federally-assisted program or activity. DREDF also cited ADA legislative history favoring use of lifts by standees, the practices of some transit agencies which allow standees to use lifts, extra costs to paratransit systems if ridership on fixed route systems by standees were limited, and a general concern that ADA regulations' protections should not be weakened. ql[' Flt Tvdccd)ek_Q6NKvzA rzm K7~(2Q9;(H These were primarily, but not exclusively, from the blind community. 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Examples of Reasonable Accommodations can include: Of course, the list above is not all-inclusive. The manufacturers said that the problems the NPRM had cited with adhesion, lift-up, etc. Nevertheless, the Department said that rail operators may have legitimate concerns about the installation of detectable warning materials as they retrofit key stations for accessibility. Further, 49 CFR 37.7 and 37.9 establish a procedure through which an entity may obtain a determination of equivalent facilitation for vehicles and facilities, respectively:For purposes of implementing the equivalent facilitation provision * * * a determination of compliance will be made by the (Federal Transit) Administrator or the Federal Railroad Administrator, as applicable, on a case-by-case basis. (B) The manufacturer of a product or accessibility feature to be used in the facility of such entity to comply with this part. 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.) Consequently, the NPRM proposed to extend for 18 months the key station compliance date with respect to detectable warnings. (ii) The entity shall make its proposed request available for public comment before the request is made final or transmitted to DOT. Therefore, complete Non-assertion of penalties due to reasonable Copies of the final rule are available in alternative formats on request. We decline to adopt suggestions that the completion date for installation of detectable warnings be established only after certain research is completed. A few comments alluded to reported opposition to detectable warnings on the part of one organization representing individuals with visual impairments. 93-29257 Filed 11-29-93; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910-62-P-M, Transportation for Individuals with Disabilities --Detectable Warnings, Standees on Lifts, Equivalent Facilitation, Priority Seating, Rail Car Acquisition, United States Department of Transportation, Coordinating Council on Access & Mobility, Low and No-Emission Vehicle Federal Technical Assistance, Federal Register Notices & Rulemaking Documents, National Transit Institute (NTI) Course Offerings. Supervisors should be aware that most technologies we purchase as an accommodation may take awhile for employees to master. The information cited in the comment-which is consistent with the Department's information about this lift model-provides a reasonable basis for believing that its operation may be particularly hazardous to standees. Section 37.47(c)(1) is revised to read as follows:@ 37.47 -- Key stations in light and rapid rail systems. At the same time, the Department was aware that rail operators had expressed a number of concerns about the detectable warnings requirement. For example, a wheelchair user may not be able to use a bus safely and securely if he or she does not have access to the securement location. The bulk of these-388 comments-were from individuals with disabilities or organizations representing them. 3 Children with disabilities are almost four times more likely to experience violence than children without disabilities. 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. drc.interpreters@dot.gov Any decision in a matter of this kind requires the Department to strike a balance between the legitimate concerns that commenters have expressed. 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. WebThe ADA also outlaws discrimination against individuals with disabilities in State and local government services, public accommodations, transportation and The FTA will oversee such mechanisms as part of the triennial review process. On January 10, 1992, the FTA Administrator determined that the criteria under 49 CFR 37.9 had been met, and he advised EPI that the detectability of the Armor-Tile warning strip was equivalent to those meeting the Access Board guidelines. All it takes is a brief moment of fatigue, or distraction, or disorientation, in the complex and sometimes confusing environment of a rail station, and even a very experienced blind rail system user can make what, in context, is a fatal misstep. A disability community commenter suggested that if a passenger decided using a lift was too dangerous, that passenger should be eligible for paratransit. statement regarding inability to obtain reasonable transportation 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. The language which applies the "driver request" provision to rail systems only to the extent practicable seems necessary. It is Island Transits policy that riders will be requested to yield priority seating at the front of the bus to the elderly and persons with disabilities. An official website of the United States government Here's how you know. We assume that Amtrak would prefer to lease trains from commuter authorities that comply with their ADA obligations. To accommodate this situation, the Department proposed to add a new paragraph to this section, which would allow good faith efforts to be documented in a different way. [*63098]. 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). In response to the disability group concerns about possible problems detectable warnings may create for people with mobility impairments, the FTA is available to work with rail properties that have installed or are testing detectable warning systems (and users of these systems who have mobility impairments) to determine whether such problems exist and merit any change in the detectable warning requirement. Share sensitive information only on official, secure websites. There is no time to make a nationwide search or advertise in trade publications, and no point in seeking cars from distant commuter authorities (which may not meet dimensional requirements for Northeast Corridor service and which would take too long to arrive). 12101-12213); 49 U.S.C. Reasonable accommodations create equal access and opportunities in the workplace so that people with disabilities can be productive team players whose unique perspectives promote the development of successful programs.

If the technical standard changes at this or any future point, the Department could, in appropriate situations, apply the grandfathering provision in the Department's ADA rule (49 CFR 37.9) to avoid making rail operators re-install detectable warnings meeting the revised standard.

To clarify this point, the NPRM proposed adding to @ 37.167 a new paragraph spelling out this obligation, which would apply to private as well as public transportation entities. In support of its request for an indefinite, or, alternatively, five-year, postponement of the requirement, a rail operator cited the need to look at safety, durability, and maintainability issues, which it said current DOT research has not addressed. _@b'^\481FqTK9jri0TO*5P5NUB19@u$.c[w(e- In other words, we believe it is more important to do the job right than to do it immediately. Other transit provider comments opposed all standee lift use on safety grounds. Many of these letters appeared to be generated by a. The Department stated in the NPRM that having an adequate detectable warning system to warn blind and visually impaired passengers that they are near a platform edge is a vital safety matter for these passengers. One disability community. Seven additional commenters favored longer delays. 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. Only one commenter, a person with a disability, opposed the proposal, saying it could cause litigation and a backlash against disabled riders. To permit a transportation provider to exclude a category of persons with disabilities from using a device that provides access to a vehicle on the basis of a perceived safety hazard, absent information in the rulemaking record that the hazard is real, would be inconsistent with the statute (c.f., the discussion of the transportation of three-wheeled mobility devices in the preamble to the Department's September 6, 1991, final ADA rule (56 FR 45617)).
