FTA Proposed Americans with Disabilities Act - Public Transit Circular Chapter

The Federal Transit Administration is proposing guidance in the form of a circular chapter to help transportation providers ensure that the buses and rail cars they acquire meet the requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Americans with Disabilities Act regulations. This proposed chapter on vehicle acquisition is the first in a series of approximately 12 chapters that will compose a complete ADA circular.


FTA published a notice in the Federal Register on October 2, 2012, seeking public comment on this proposed circular chapter and suggestions for specific issues to cover in future chapters. The comment period is open until December 3, 2012.
