PWX draws thousands of public works professionals from all over the world…
Innovative mobility trends can improve a pedestrian's experience of the built environment and contribute to a dynamic and sustainable civic life. Unfortunately, these new facilities may overlook the needs of pedestrians with disabilities and the minimum technical requirements for accessibility. Attendees will learn the disabled access requirements and universal design principles for facilities that are not explicitly addressed in current standards, such as parklets, street/sidewalk cafes, on-street accessible parking, food pick up/delivery stalls, passenger loading zones, electric vehicle charging stations, and modular bus platforms.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the barriers experienced by pedestrians with disabilities in their navigation of public pedestrian facilities.
- Apply existing disabled access requirements and universal design principles to facilities not specifically addressed in current standards, such as parklets, street/sidewalk cafes, on-street accessible parking, food pick up/delivery stalls, etc.
- Increase the success of innovative pedestrian mobility services and facilities by anticipating the needs of all users.
