Topic Guides
on ADA Transportation

July 2010

Dear Friends,

DREDF is proud to announce our publication of the Topic Guides on ADA Transportation, a series of technical assistance documents funded under a Cooperative Agreement with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and developed by DREDF and TranSystems Corporation.

The Topic Guides on ADA Transportation bring together the requirements of the ADA and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) ADA regulation, FTA determinations, and operational practices on each topic that comply with the ADA. The Topic Guides also draw information from many other sources, including DOT Disability Law Guidance; FTA ADA Compliance Reviews, Letters of Finding, and Bulletins; Transportation Research Board and National Council on Disability publications; National Transit Institute courses; Easter Seals Project ACTION publications and Distance Learning Sessions; American Public Transportation Association draft Recommended Practices; and the recommendations of nationally recognized ADA transit operators, planners, and researchers on operational practices for implementing ADA requirements.

This series of Topic Guides includes:

*         Equipment Maintenance

*         Stop Announcement and Route Identification

*         Eligibility for ADA Paratransit

*         Telephone Hold Time in ADA Paratransit

*         Origin to Destination Service in ADA Paratransit

*         On-Time Performance in ADA Paratransit

*         No-Shows in ADA Paratransit

View the Topic Guide Home Page, which offers each Topic Guide in HTML, a PDF download, and a plain text option, at http://dredf.org/ADAtg/index.shtml<http://e2ma.net/go/6744119546/208264508/214653521/1407889/goto:http:/dredf.org/ADAtg/index.shtml>.

The FTA Office of Civil Rights has also linked to the Topic Guides on ADA Transportation on its ADA website at www.fta.dot.gov/ada<http://e2ma.net/go/6744119546/208264508/214653522/1407889/goto:http:/www.fta.dot.gov/ada> under DREDF.
