DOT staff were also contacted by a disability group representative who believes that standees should be accommodated on all lifts. These were primarily, but not exclusively, from the blind community. It is a significant rule under the Department's Regulatory Policies and Procedures, since it amends the Department's Americans with Disabilities Act rule, which is a significant rule. (Since few transit authorities have actually installed detectable warnings to date, most commenters could not assert that they had directly experienced problems, however.) PAGE 1658 FR 63092, *63098concerning detectable warning materials to make sure that, in all respects, a proposed "equivalent" material truly provides equal or greater detectability and safety benefits. We want to be sure that you or your employee can fully use the accommodation effectively. 57 0 obj <>stream Several manufacturers of detectable warning surfaces requested clarification. Consequently, the NPRM proposed to extend for 18 months the key station compliance date with respect to detectable warnings. At the same time, as a matter of policy, the Department will scrutinize closely applications for equivalent facilitation. The FTA has learned that some manufacturers have been marketing products as "U.S. Government-Approved" or "ADA-Approved." PTSB described, in some detail, how the design and operation of a particular lift model (a front door "arcing" lift manufactured by EEC, Inc., Model 141) could create specific hazards for standees. Fourteen commenters supported the NPRM provision as drafted. This issue attracted, by far, the greatest number of comments of any issue raised by the NPRM. Two manufacturers thought equivalent facilitation should be deleted from the rule altogether. The existing rule's one car per train requirement applies, after July 1995, both to Amtrak and the commuter authorities involved. WebINABILITY TO OBTAIN. Doing so will increase the likelihood that, when installed, detectable warnings do their intended job well without creating unnecessary problems for either passengers or transit providers. * * * * *7. The manufacturers said that the problems the NPRM had cited with adhesion, lift-up, etc. In New York, a blind passenger using a guide dog fell off a platform and was killed by an oncoming train. The Department also wants to clarify an equivalent facilitation decision it had earlier made concerning detectable warnings. 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. The Department strongly urges such training programs to transit providers, both as a way of improving customer service and of reducing any risks which transit providers believe may be created by the use of lifts by standees. If manufacturers or other parties have a problem in obtaining disability group input, they can document their efforts as part of their application for an equivalent facilitation determination. A transit provider said that, in case the Access Board changed its standard, detectable warnings that had been installed in the meantime should be grandfathered. If you are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability, please dial 7-1-1 to access telecommunications relay services. It is a way of providing a reasonable sense of security to regulated parties that accessibility modifications they make will comply with ADA requirements. They suggested that public and private entities be subject to the same procedures. Five requested that handrails be retrofitted on existing lifts, and one commenter opposed this idea. 35 0 obj <>/Filter/FlateDecode/ID[<219546CA2F0B1B4A956CBC6DFEFAA54F>]/Index[10 48]/Info 9 0 R/Length 119/Prev 123083/Root 11 0 R/Size 58/Type/XRef/W[1 3 1]>>stream 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).

It is fair to conclude from comments to the rule that one of the consequences of having a serious visual impairment is the need to concentrate very hard on mobility and orientation matters that sighted persons handle routinely. PAGE 1258 FR 63092, *63096commenter said it was inappropriate for a transit authority to require a standee to use the handrail (i.e., because it might be more dangerous for the passenger to release his or her grip on a walker or crutch to grasp the handrail); one transit authority wanted to be able to impose such a requirement. Entities shall not claim that a determination of equivalent facilitation indicates approval or endorsement of any product or method by the Federal government, the Department of Transportation, or any of its operating administrations.5. A statement of the eligibility requirements for coverage including: (A) The condition under which dependent enrollees may be added to those originally covered; (B) Any limiting age for enrollees and dependents, including effects of Medicare eli-gibility; and (C) A clear statement regarding the cover-age of newborn children. Last fall, the Access Board proposed amending its guidelines for ATMs. 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). hXko+1Ap`;McIsc j&BesfI#H%53EKdJ[qZyfQE)*f:C Iy2-:WA`\I It is not enough, under the ADA, to permit a passenger with a disability to enter a vehicle; the person must be able to use the vehicle for transportation. ].14 The auditor should consider the effect of an illegal act on the amounts presented in nancial statements including contingent monetary effects, such as nes, penalties and damages. Commenters also asked for more clarification or guidance on certain subjects. The main reason for this was that, in the commenters' view, detectable warning materials need to be uniform nationwide. For these reasons, the Department will continue to make equivalent facilitation determinations. (iii) The entity shall sponsor at least one public hearing on the request and shall provide adequate notice of the hearing, including advertisement in appropriate media, such as newspapers of general and special interest circulation and radio announcements. * * * * *(d) When Amtrak or a commuter authority leases a used intercity or commuter rail car for a period of seven days or less, Amtrak or the commuter authority may make and document good faith efforts as provided in this paragraph instead of in the ways provided in paragraph (c) of this section: [*63103](1) By having and implementing, in its agreement with any intercity railroad or commuter authority that serves as a source of used intercity or commuter rail cars for a lease of seven days or less, a provision requiring that the lessor provide all available accessible rail cars before providing any inaccessible rail cars. In @ 37.9, paragraph (d) is revised to read as follows:@ 37.9 -- Standards for accessible transportation facilities. We believe that a reasonable balance is best achieved, in this case, by allowing transit authorities a limited period of time to resolve practical problems concerning detectable warnings. Two commenters suggested that, when possible, the driver seat disabled passengers on the right side of the bus, so that the driver could see if a passenger had problems with the securement device or needed a stop announcement. WebThe ADA also outlaws discrimination against individuals with disabilities in State and local government services, public accommodations, transportation and DREDF also cited ADA legislative history favoring use of lifts by standees, the practices of some transit agencies which allow standees to use lifts, extra costs to paratransit systems if ridership on fixed route systems by standees were limited, and a general concern that ADA regulations' protections should not be weakened. Further, 49 CFR 37.7 and 37.9 establish a procedure through which an entity may obtain a determination of equivalent facilitation for vehicles and facilities, respectively:For purposes of implementing the equivalent facilitation provision * * * a determination of compliance will be made by the (Federal Transit) Administrator or the Federal Railroad Administrator, as applicable, on a case-by-case basis. Technology and product differentiation in the detectable warnings field does not stand still, and equivalent facilitation is an appropriate means to recognize evolution and innovation in these products. 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. Making the requirements effective at the same time made sense, they said, because they relate to an accessible car-station interface. We do not believe that such accommodations should be required, however. hbbd```b``"d."H :XdXW`)f$lWdH! R,DdL@d` ?7 h INDEX. 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. This product did not meet the original Access Board design requirement for detectable warnings. The Department encourages rail operators to install detectable warnings before the required date. The future event or events are likely to occur. Since the FTA issued these letters, the Access Board published Bulletin # 1 in May 1992, clarifying many of the ambiguities left by its original guidelines and containing a diagram illustrating the pattern prescribed for detectable warning surfaces. The Department, instead, received a substantial number of requests for equivalent facilitation determinations from manufacturers relating to approvals of particular products. Webdisabilities who are unable to use the vehicle because the lift does not work. The Department said that these concerns do not apply with the same force to a new construction situation, where detectable warnings can be made an integral part of the platform design (e.g., through concrete stamping or other methods not involving retrofit). The petition requested that the detectable warnings standard be suspended, pending further research. With the exception noted below, the existing @ 37.165(g)-which requires transportation providers to permit standees to use lifts, without restriction-will remain in effect. Section 37.47(c)(1) is revised to read as follows:@ 37.47 -- Key stations in light and rapid rail systems. Mr. X has Reasonable Cause for Not Filing and Turning Over Form 941 Withholding Taxes. [*63098]. * * * * *(c)(1) Except as provided in this paragraph, the responsible person(s) shall achieve accessibility of key stations as soon as possible, but in no case later than July 26, 1993, except that an entity is not required to complete installation of detectable warnings required by section 10.3.2(2) of appendix A to this part until July 26, 1994. 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). A personal care attendant (as distinct from a friend or traveling companion) should be permitted to sit near a person with a disability, since the attendant may be needed to perform personal tasks for the individual with a disability during the course of the ride. If passengers expect detectable warning materials to be on the edge of the entire platform, and several feet of material is missing because the adhesive has failed, someone could fall off the platform because the expected warning was absent. 10. Requirements by transportation providers that passengers use a particular accommodation are also inappropriate under the ADA. Five commenters (one of the above transit agencies plus four of the commenters who favored the NPRM provision) said that additional provision (e.g., a voice synthesizer system) was needed on fare vending systems to serve persons with visual impairments. Washington, DC 20590 If you are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability, please dial 7-1-1 to access telecommunications relay services. Converts for an unauthorized term or use 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. (4) In all signage designating priority seating areas for elderly persons and persons with disabilities, or designating wheelchair securement areas, the entity shall include language informing persons sitting in these locations that they should comply with requests by transit provider personnel to vacate their seats to make room for an individual with a disability. According to a press report of the incident, the individual asserted that, had a detectable warning strip been in place, her fall would have been prevented. It said that while new products have been developed, they have not yet been independently tested. We believe the changes to the process suggested in the NPRM-concerning the ability of the various DOT operating administrations to make these determinations and having different procedural steps for manufacturers and transportation providers-are reasonable. (56 FR 45618). Safety railings on platforms, while perhaps useful for safety of visually impaired passengers, could create crowding and obstacles for other passengers, and might not be practical given that train doors do not always stop at the same point on a platform. Consultation with these individuals and groups shall take place at all stages of the development of the request for equivalent facilitation.

The Act defines a person with a disability to include (1) individuals with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life The one exception concerns the EEC, Inc. "arcing" lift cited in the New York PTSB comment. While we understand the concerns of transit agency commenters about the potential safety risks that may be involved, the Department does not have a basis in the rulemaking record for authorizing a restriction on lift use by standees. * * * * *PAGE 2658 FR 63092, *631026.

Transit providers may, if they choose, provide additional accommodations, such as retrofitted handrails on existing lifts or on-board wheelchairs. 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. One commenter suggested that the postponement apply here, as well. The rule makes these corrections, which have no substantive effects. PAGE 1158 FR 63092, *63096letter-writing campaign organized by the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF), whose comment is probably the most thorough and typical statement of the disability community's objections to the proposal. Given the urgency of the concerns expressed by disability community comments and the strong safety rationale for installing detectable warnings, the Department will not adopt the proposed 18-month extension, however. We would ask that you fill out a "Request for Accommodation" on the first instance of your request, and at that time, the procedure for obtaining your needed service will be explained. Reasonable accommodations are changes or modifications to a job or work environment that make it possible for an employee with a disability to perform the essential functions of that job. In a joint Access Board/DOT rule issued prior to this document, the Department adopted the proposal discussed above. 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 problematical features of this lift, as described by the PTSB, include an unusually low head clearance, the tilting action of the lift as it enters the bus, and a "pit" between the lift and the bus entrance when the lift is fully raised but has not entered the bus. 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. The authority citation for 49 CFR part 38 is revised to read as follows: Authority: Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. Some of these commenters expressed the concern that requiring enforcement could lead to confrontations between drivers and passengers or could disrupt service. WebApplicable for audits of financial statements for periods commencing on or after 15 December 2019. In @ 37.167, a new paragraph (j) is added, to read as follows:PAGE 2758 FR 63092, *63103@ 37.167 -- Other service requirements.

The fourth change clarifies the responsibility of transit providers to make seat or wheelchair securement space available to people who need it: The fifth amendment would reflect a recent statutory change in the name of the Department's transit agency from the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The second was the. Section 37.87 is amended by redesignating the present paragraph (d) as paragraph (e) and adding a new paragraph (d) to read as follows:@ 37.87 -- Purchase or lease of used intercity and commuter rail cars. Liz has low vision and uses assistive technologies to assist her with the essential functions of her job in the Office of Human Resources. Moreover, unlike the falls of visually-impaired persons from platforms, allegations mentioned by some commenters that properly installed detectable warnings cause safety problems (e.g., for persons using crutches or walkers, or pedestrians wearing high heels) are not supported by any evidence of these problems actually having occurred. %PDF-1.5 % While it need not be part of this rule, the Department will take appropriate steps to provide general notice of these decisions.

The information cited in the comment-which is consistent with the Department's information about this lift model-provides a reasonable basis for believing that its operation may be particularly hazardous to standees. DREDF also alluded to a DOT study which found that standees could use lifts successfully. That is, they were concerned that passengers would lose their balance and fall, hit their head, or otherwise suffer injury, as the result of using the lift. In the course of preparing this document, DOT staff noticed two technical errors in 49 CFR part 38.

The Department believes that the ambiguities in the original Access Board guidelines have been resolved by Bulletin # 1, and that FTA letters concerning compliance with the Access Board requirements are no longer necessary. We also agree with the commenters who suggested that priority seating signs should specify that non-disabled persons should move to make room for someone who needs a priority seat. 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. 12101-12213); 49 U.S.C. Bulletin # 1 also contains a list of products which are claimed by their manufacturers to meet the technical specifications for detectable warnings, but the Access Board neither reviews products for compliance nor certifies the suitability of such products or systems for the purposes for which they are intended. 0 Examples of Reasonable Accommodations can include: Of course, the list above is not all-inclusive. Sixteen commenters-including both transportation agencies and disability community commenters, among others-favored the NPRM's proposal. Also, if Amtrak could obtain cars for a particular area of its service from both Commuter Authority B and Commuter Authority C, and C had more accessible cars available than B, Amtrak would borrow C's accessible cars before it borrowed inaccessible cars from B. Eleven commenters (eight disability community commenters, Amtrak and one other transit provider, and one state or local agency working on disability matters) favored the NPRM approach. Lift-off problems were reported in some stations (for example, one BART station had a high lift-off rate, of about a third of tiles after 18 months, while other BART stations had low lift-off rates in the 1-10 percent range.) This language should parallel that of @ 38.95(d). In issuing the NPRM, the Department stated that the existing design for detectable warnings standard fulfills detectability and safety requirements. 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. (j)(1) When an individual with a disability enters a vehicle, and because of a disability, the individual needs to sit in a seat or occupy a wheelchair securement location, the entity shall ask the following persons to move in order to allow the individual with a disability to occupy the seat or securement location:(i) Individuals, except other individuals with a disability or elderly persons, sitting in a location designated as priority seating for elderly and handicapped persons (or other seat as necessary);(ii) Individuals sitting in or a fold-down or other movable seat in a wheelchair securement location.
