Guide to the ADA Standards

DOT’s ADA Standards (2006)

DOT’s ADA Standards apply to facilities used by state and local governments to provide designated public transportation and to commuter and intercity rail stations. The current edition of the standards applies to new construction and alterations undertaken after November 29, 2006. These standards are very similar to DOJ’s 2010 Standards but include unique provisions concerning:

• accessible route location (§206.3)

• detectable warnings on curb ramps (§406.8)

• bus boarding and alighting areas (§810.2.2)

• rail station platform (§810.5.3).
