DOT Memorandum - Information and Action: ADA Transition Plan Process

Minimum Required Attributes:

The Review Team has identified a list of minimum required attributes that need to be included within a State’s ADA transition plan. Each of these minimum required attributes corresponds with the minimum transition plan requirements set forth in the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) ADA Title II regulations at 28 CFR 35.150(d).

The attributes that are required to be included in a State’s ADA transition plan consist of the following:

1) Identification of the official responsible for implementation of the transition plan (See 28 CFR 35.150(d)(3)(iv));

2) An inventory of barriers (i.e., identification of physical obstacles) (See 28 CFR 35.150(d)(3)(i) & 28 CFR 35.150(a));

3) A prioritized schedule of when barriers will be eliminated and deficiencies corrected (See 28 CFR 35.150(d)(2) & 28 CFR 25.150(d)(3)(iii) [sic]); and

4) A description of the methods that will be used to make facilities accessible (See 28 CFR 35.150(d)(3)(ii)).

More details about each attribute is provided in the attached “State DOT Transition Plan Attributes Review Guide” (Review Guide) that was presented during the October 13, 2015 webinar about the review process for Division Administrators and Civil Rights Specialists.
