Category : Buses
Languages : en
Pages : 53
Book Description
This synthesis will be of interest to transit agency staff and those who work with them in dealing with common wheelchair securement on transit buses.

The report describes the state of the practice with respect to the use of rearfacing position for accommodating common wheelchairs (as defined by the ADA) on large transit buses (more than 30,000 lb) and identifies pertinent issues related to its transferability to the U.S. context.

ISBN:
Category : Barrier-free design
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
This report addresses the costs to over-the-road bus (OTRB) operators of complying with the Final OTRB Accessibility Rule of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). The report is intended to provide objective information for deliberations regarding the costs of meeting accessibility requirements in light of federal funding under the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), which assists private operators with the costs of ADA compliance. This report presents ranges of estimates for capital, training, and maintenance costs - within the broader context of other costs and revenue issues. The appendixes include a summary of previous studies of major revenue-related issues and other factors associated with making OTRBs accessible. The report will be of interest to policy makers, federal officials, industry representatives, bus manufacturers, disability rights advocates, and professionals concerned with estimating the incremental costs to private operators of implementing the ADA.
