Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Transportation Facilities

The 2006 edition of the Department of Transportation's ADA Standards is consistent with the Access Board's updated ADA and ABA guidelines but it includes additional requirements in the following sections: 206.3 (Location of Accessible Routes); 406.8 (Detectable Warnings on Curb Ramps); 810.2.2 (Bus Boarding and Alighting Areas); and 810.5.3 (Rail Station Platforms). The remainder of the DOT ADA Standards may be found in the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design and the ABA Standards for GSA Facilities.

Note to Reader: The Department of Transportation’s ADA standards require detectable warnings on curb ramps:

406.8 Detectable Warnings. A curb ramp shall have a detectable warning complying with 705. The detectable warning shall extend the full width of the curb ramp (exclusive of flared sides) and shall extend either the full depth of the curb ramp or 24 inches (610 mm) deep minimum measured from the back of the curb on the ramp surface.
