FTA today published detailed guidance 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. View FTA
Acting Administrator Therese McMillan’s video message.
