As such, training is required, and adequate training time should be allowed. Another transit property also asked for a 5-year delay, while a third suggested making the requirement effective in July 1995, to coincide with the one-car-per-train requirement. 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.

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). Other commenters expressed concern about delay (one suggesting a 90-day FTA deadline) or about misleading manufacturer claims of "DOT approved" products. This means, of course, that detectable warnings were to be in place by that date.

Last fall, the Access Board proposed amending its guidelines for ATMs. The main point of all commenters supporting a restriction on the use of lifts by standees was the safety risk that they believe to exist. The Department understands that this lift model is no longer being manufactured, but remains in use on some buses. PAGE 958 FR 63092, *63095standard for detectable warnings may be indicated, the Department is free to propose changes, which can exceed the minimum requirements of the Access Board guidelines. In Appendix A to part 37, section 10.3.1(7) requires automatic fare vending equipment and related devices to conform, among other things, to the requirements of sections 4.34.2-4.34.4, concerning automated teller machines. At the same time, given the modification discussed below, it will not impose onerous new duties on transit personnel. Under appendix A of part 37, which adopts as part of a DOT regulation the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) guidelines for accessible facilities, sections 10.3.1 and 10.3.2, require that an accessible rail station have a 24-inch wide detectable warning strip running the entire length of the platform edge. 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). For a short-term lease of commuter rail cars (i.e., for a period of seven days or less; the Department sought comment on whether this is the appropriate period), Amtrak and commuter authorities could have, in standing. Other transit provider comments opposed all standee lift use on safety grounds.

The availability of seating or securement space is an integral part of accessibility (i.e., having a vehicle that is "readily * * * usable by" an individual with a disability). One disability community commenter and one state or local agency working on disability matters recommended that, regardless of other considerations, each train always have at least one accessible car (after July 1955, presumably). DREDF also alluded to a DOT study which found that standees could use lifts successfully. The future event or events are likely to occur. The discussion below pertains to this timing issue. It is the Department's understanding that this material involves a flat, painted-on surface with a sandpaper-like texture, which does not meet the Federal standard for a detectable warning.

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. Some comments from transit providers suggested there be limits on the use of lifts by standees (e.g., only where there are handrails, only in a wheelchair provided by the transit authority). Converts for an unauthorized term or use Five transit agencies noted that they provided lift service to standees without significant problems. 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. These factors make a persuasive case for not unduly postponing the installation of detectable warning materials that can prevent death, injuries, and narrow escapes of the kind cited in the record. hb``g`` Our staff will work with you to understand how your limitations impact your ability to perform your critical job tasks.

There are no Federalism impacts sufficient to warrant the preparation of a Federalism assessment. DRC staff will talk with the employee and the supervisor to understand the scope of the job and to find effective solutions. The Department believes that existing research adequately documents the detectability of warning materials meeting or exceeding the current Access Board requirement, and, therefore, that the materials will mitigate this hazard. Consequently, we have not adopted the comments of manufacturers that opposed different procedures for manufacturers and transportation providers. The background of this issue is the following: @ 37.165 of the Department's final ADA rule (49 CFR part 37; 56 FR 45584, 45640; September 6, 1991) provides that. Loss contingencies resulting from illegal acts The (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 FTA Administrator sent letter to a number of manufacturers to inform them that their designs appeared to meet the dimensional requirements intended by the Access Board. All documents and other information concerning the request shall be available, upon request, to members of the public. It would not be appropriate for the Department to indefinitely suspend a requirement that addresses a known safety problem on the basis of speculation about a safety problem that has not been shown to exist. (49 CFR part 37, Appendix A, @ 2.2; 49 CFR part 38, 38.2). Nine transit agencies and one state or local agency working on disability matters suggested that the final rule require the driver to ask someone sitting in a priority seat to move, or to make good faith efforts to clear the seat, but not to have to enforce the request. 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. 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. 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. (ii) The entity shall make its proposed request available for public comment before the request is made final or transmitted to DOT. Lifts meeting Access Board standards will have handrails. 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. The Access Board standard already requires information about the machines to be provided in a way that persons with impaired vision can use; specifying a voice synthesis capability does not seem necessary and is, in any event, beyond the scope of a proposal focusing on reach range. 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. Part 38 and appendix A to part 37 both contain provisions concerning equivalent facilitation. Virtually all commenters supported the proposal, agreeing with the rationale articulated above. It is a way of providing a reasonable sense of security to regulated parties that accessibility modifications they make will comply with ADA requirements. 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). WebThe ADA also outlaws discrimination against individuals with disabilities in State and local government services, public accommodations, transportation and The situations covered by the Access Board proposal are distinguishable from the situation of rail platform edges, and a decision by the Access Board to delete the detectable warning requirement in the former would not affect the requirement in the latter for detectable warnings on platform edges, particularly given the safety consequences of falls from rail station platforms.

In Boston, a blind individual received fatal injuries when she fell off a platform and received a shock from the electrified "third rail." 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. Some commenters expressed particular concern about detectable warnings at outdoor stations in the winter, with respect to snow and ice removal and potential slipping hazards to passengers. A disability community commenter suggested. For this reason, the final rule will permit transit providers who operate buses having this lift model to deny its use to standees (who would, of course, be eligible for paratransit as a result). We assume that Amtrak would prefer to lease trains from commuter authorities that comply with their ADA obligations. For example, if the corners of a tile segment curl up, people can trip on them. If, as the result of research the Department is conducting, or further research or determinations by the Access Board, some change in the technical. For any key station modification which, because of an extension of time for extraordinarily expensive changes, does not have to be completed until after July 26, 1994, detectable warnings would have to be installed on the same date as other modifications had to be completed. This issue is a difficult one, because the comments favoring and opposing the proposed 18-month delay both make reasonable and persuasive points. The comments to this docket were considered in context of that rulemaking and were reflected in its preamble. FTA previously made this change for all the regulations in Subchapter VI of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The warning strip must include a pattern of "truncated domes" (i.e., small raised rounded surfaces) as required by section 4.29 of appendix A. In the preamble to the final rule, the Department made the following comments on the origin of this provision: PAGE 1058 FR 63092, *63095In the NPRM, the Department neglected to discuss the use of lifts by standees, an oversight that was brought to our attention by a substantial number of disability community commenters. 322. 57 0 obj <>stream This is because the economic effects of the rule in general should be minimal; to the extent that the rule reduces costs (e.g., by delaying the requirement for completing the installation of detectable warnings), this beneficial effect will affect only large entities.

The DOT study alluded to by commenters, with some qualifications, does support the proposition that standees may use lifts safely and successfully. From a transportation policy point of view, requiring materials to be installed without providing a reasonable amount of time for rail operators to resolve these very practical issues could be counterproductive.

The Department encourages the use of such accommodations, in the interest of improving safe and convenient service to passengers. We agree with the commenters who suggested modifying the proposal to specify that drivers or other personnel on vehicles not be required to enforce a request for someone to move from a priority seat (e.g., by physically removing a recalcitrant passenger or parking the bus and calling the police.)

The NPRM proposed updating the terms used in the Department's ADA rules to conform to the ISTEA changes. 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. It is inappropriate under a nondiscrimination statute like the ADA, DREDF argued, to restrict the availability of a service to persons with disabilities based only on speculation or apprehension about possible risks. 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.

PAGE 2158 FR 63092, *63100(ATMs). Disability Resource Center Days. 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). 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.

While it need not be part of this rule, the Department will take appropriate steps to provide general notice of these decisions. A regulatory deadline would not be that useful, in our view. 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. The ADA is a nondiscrimination statute, intended to ensure, among other things, that people with disabilities have access to transportation services.
