- W90717356 abstract "This paper highlights the results of a study funded prepared by TranSystems for Easter Seals Project ACTION (ESPA) to develop an Accessibility Design Guide for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Systems. The report describes accessible design elements that apply to BRT systems both from the regulatory perspective of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) as well as the concept of “universal design,” which means including barrier-free design elements that will enhance system accessibility for all persons, including individuals with disabilities. The intent of the project was not to give detailed engineering information, but to provide guidance and possible solutions for incorporating accessible design elements necessary to meet or exceed ADA accessibility requirements. The Design Guide identifies accessibility issues common to BRT systems, documents effective ways of addressing those issues, and provides examples of how these issues are currently being addressed through six case studies. A companion ADA Compliance Checklists for Bus Rapid Transit Facilities Design and Construction is included as a self-assessment tool. The information presented in the Design Guide and Checklists also may be used to supplement the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA’s) Characteristics of Bus Rapid Transit Decision-Making report (CBRT), which provides guidance to transit agencies on the development and implementation of BRT systems. An updated CBRT is expected to be published in 2009. This paper highlights solutions identified as part of the ESPA project that will help transit agencies to plan and implement accessible BRT services, especially related to vehicle design, station platform and stop design, the platform-to-vehicle interface, and public involvement in the BRT planning and implementation process. The APTA conference presentation will focus on the experience of the BRT systems operated by two transit agencies—the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) in Las Vegas, Nevada and Lane Transit District (LTD) in Eugene, Oregon—that made accessibility a priority right from the start and were especially proactive in ensuring that vehicles and stations/stops were made accessible for all customers, including people with disabilities, older adults, bicyclists, and the general public." @default.
