Prioritization
Compliance is required up to the point the 20% cost cap is reached, even where it does not result in a fully accessible path of travel. Where costs exceed this cap, compliance should be prioritized in this order:
1. an accessible entrance
2. an accessible route to the primary function area
3. restroom access
4. an accessible telephone
5. an accessible drinking fountain
6. access to other elements such as parking and storage
The requirements for alterations to primary function areas are found in DOJ’s ADA Standards at 28 CFR §35.151(b) (title II) and 28 CFR §36.403 (title III) and in DOT’s ADA Regulation at 49 CFR §37.43.
