To provide accessibility under ADA guidelines, state and local government agencies are required to perform self-evaluations of their existing facilities relative to the accessibility requirements of the ADA. The public entities are then required to develop a transition plan to address any deficiencies. With 5,000 lane miles over 500 square miles in the City of Phoenix, developing a city-wide ADA Transition Plan is a significant undertaking requiring several months and millions of dollars. To understand the amount of effort needed to create a comprehensive ADA Transition Plan, the City performed a pilot project. The Title II compliant project included data collection using a vehicle-mounted, ground-based light detection and ranging (LiDAR) instrument; extraction of data into a usable geographic information system (GIS) database; and compliance analysis to identify areas for improvement. Additionally, the study defined potential options to perform ADA self-evaluation and develop a comprehensive ADA Transition Plan for the entire city.
Learning Objectives
- Understand ADA Transition Plan requirements.
- Plan for the development of an ADA Transition Plan in phases.
