DOT Memorandum - Information and Action: ADA Transition Plan Process

Requirements for Certifying that the State has an ADA Transition Plan that is Consistent with the Regulations:

At least every four years, States are required to submit an updated State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) concurrently to the FHWA and the FTA for joint approval. At the time the STIP or STIP amendments are submitted, States are required to certify that the transportation planning process is being carried out in accordance with all applicable requirements of the provisions of the ADA and Section 504. (See 23 CFR 450.218(a)(6),(10)). Therefore, every four years, the State DOTs are certifying that they meet the requirements of the ADA and Section 504, which in the planning process would include transition plans. The Division can use the Federal approval of the STIP as an opportunity to discuss the ADA transition plan’s consistency with the minimum transition plan attributes.
