statement regarding inability to obtain reasonable transportation

Consistent with requirements of the ADA discussed above, persons who use canes or walkers and other standees with disabilities who cannot readily climb steps into a vehicle must be permitted to use lifts. Only one commenter, a person with a disability, opposed the proposal, saying it could cause litigation and a backlash against disabled riders. The warning strip must include a pattern of "truncated domes" (i.e., small raised rounded surfaces) as required by section 4.29 of appendix A. hXko+1Ap`;McIsc j&BesfI#H%53EKdJ[qZyfQE)*f:C Iy2-:WA`\I Commenters also asked for more clarification or guidance on certain subjects.

It would be appropriate for transit operators to establish a mechanism based on local circumstances, consultation with drivers, and input from the local community. Sixteen commenters-including both transportation agencies and disability community commenters, among others-favored the NPRM's proposal. 10. A total of 434 commenters opposed the NPRM's proposal, asserting that the existing regulatory provision should be retained. While managers and employees are experts in their respective fields, they may not know how to go about providing specific reasonable accommodation solutions for different situations. They viewed the separate provision for private entities (such as manufacturers) as being a less stringent standard, which would allow manufacturers to circumvent the standards in the rule. Entities shall not cite these determinations as indicating that a product or method constitute equivalent facilitations in situations other than those to which the determinations specifically pertain. The Department will adopt the proposed provision, which appears workable both to Amtrak and disability community commenters. The existing detectable warning requirement, without change or postponement, will continue to apply to construction of new stations and alterations of existing stations platforms. hb``g`` 93-29257 Filed 11-29-93; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910-62-P-M, Transportation for Individuals with Disabilities --Detectable Warnings, Standees on Lifts, Equivalent Facilitation, Priority Seating, Rail Car Acquisition, United States Department of Transportation, Coordinating Council on Access & Mobility, Low and No-Emission Vehicle Federal Technical Assistance, Federal Register Notices & Rulemaking Documents, National Transit Institute (NTI) Course Offerings. 9. %PDF-1.5 % Virtually all commenters supported the proposal, agreeing with the rationale articulated above. Days. The Because this action had already been taken, it is not necessary for this document to further amend the regulatory text. Again, I must emphasize he needs to be reasonably sure and NOT 4 Transportation barriers Obviously, a wheelchair user needs access to a securement location. Nine commenters supported the NPRM proposal to adopt the Access [*63101] Board proposed amendment for ATMs, which would also apply to fare vending systems. (2) By documenting that, when there is more than one source of intercity or commuter rail cars for a lease of seven days or less, the lessee has obtained all available accessible intercity or commuter rail cars from all sources before obtaining inaccessible intercity or commuter rail cars from any source. Three commenters suggested that buses carry an on-board wheelchair that standees could choose to use. For example, a wheelchair user may not be able to use a bus safely and securely if he or she does not have access to the securement location. WebINABILITY TO OBTAIN. The background of this issue is the following: @ 37.165 of the Department's final ADA rule (49 CFR part 37; 56 FR 45584, 45640; September 6, 1991) provides that. The Department will adopt the proposal, believing that requests by drivers that other passengers move from priority seats will assist in making transportation genuinely accessible for passengers with disabilities. Others said that they did not want to spend substantial sums of money on detectable warnings until there was certainty about what design would best answer the concerns that have been raised. Five commenters (one of the above transit agencies plus four of the commenters who favored the NPRM provision) said that additional provision (e.g., a voice synthesizer system) was needed on fare vending systems to serve persons with visual impairments. With the exception noted below, the existing @ 37.165(g)-which requires transportation providers to permit standees to use lifts, without restriction-will remain in effect. Reasonable accommodations are changes or modifications to a job or work environment that make it possible for an employee with a disability to perform the essential functions of that job. It is a significant rule under the Department's Regulatory Policies and Procedures, since it amends the Department's Americans with Disabilities Act rule, which is a significant rule. The Department also wants to clarify an equivalent facilitation decision it had earlier made concerning detectable warnings. The comments to this docket were considered in context of that rulemaking and were reflected in its preamble. There are reasons to have such a requirement. Four rail operators suggested that the 18 months should start to run from the time that FTA or the Access Board completed its research on detectable warnings. We have some doubts about the practicality of providers carrying wheelchairs on their vehicles to use for standees who are trying to access a vehicle via the lift. Washington, DC 20590855-368-4200. PAGE 1558 FR 63092, *63098Taking this approach would have the advantage of reducing the Department's administrative workload. DOT is committed to maintaining public safety while providing maximum flexibility to allow transportation industries to conduct their operations safely and Not surprisingly, there were few comments on this matter; a handful of commenters noted it approvingly. In making the request available for public review, the entity shall ensure that it is available, upon request, in accessible formats. Five requested that handrails be retrofitted on existing lifts, and one commenter opposed this idea. A substantial number of commenters opposed the Department's proposal, asserting that the detectable warnings requirement, as written, should go into effect without any postponement. The Disability Resource Center (DRC) is available to help all Department of Transportation managers, supervisors, and employees understand the accommodation process and obtain necessary equipment and services. Those commenters who asserted that the two types of machines should have different requirements did not provide sufficient information on which the Department or the Access Board could base a separate standard. These support services are provided throughout DOT, regardless of an employee's geographic location. The Department is not making other suggested changes in the regulatory language, believing that reasonable implementation of the provision can address the issues commenters raised.

A disability community commenter suggested. (5) A determination of compliance will be made by the Administrator of the concerned operating administration on a case-by-case basis, with the concurrence of the Assistant Secretary for Policy and International Affairs.PAGE 2458 FR 63092, *63102(6) Determinations of equivalent facilitation are made only with respect to vehicles or vehicle components used in the provision of transportation services covered by subpart D or subpart E of this part, and pertain only to the specific situation concerning which the determination is made. The Access Board's proposed action does not apply to detectable warnings on rail platform edges. Not more than 6 inches of the required clear floor space may be accommodated for footrests under another seat provided there is a minimum of 9 inches from the floor to the lowest part of the seat overhanging the space. The Department would apply 49 CFR 37.9, concerning grandfathering, to fare vending systems that meet the current ADA standard in the same way as that section applies to other features of transportation facilities. [*63092]SUMMARY: The Department is amending its rules implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in several respects. Nine commenters, eight of whom were equipment manufacturers, said that there should not be separate equivalent facilitation procedures for public and private entities. Seating spaces may have fold-down or removable seats to accommodate other passengers when a wheelchair or mobility aid user is not occupying the area, provided the seats, when folded up, do not obstruct the clear floor space provided (See Fig. To permit a transportation provider to exclude a category of persons with disabilities from using a device that provides access to a vehicle on the basis of a perceived safety hazard, absent information in the rulemaking record that the hazard is real, would be inconsistent with the statute (c.f., the discussion of the transportation of three-wheeled mobility devices in the preamble to the Department's September 6, 1991, final ADA rule (56 FR 45617)). 2. Transit providers have asked the Department whether they have an obligation under the ADA to direct other passengers to move from designated priority seats or from fold-down seats over a wheelchair securement location when a passenger with a disability enters the vehicle. At the same time, the Department was aware that rail operators had expressed a number of concerns about the detectable warnings requirement. II. Business Hours:8:30am-5:00pm ET, M-F. The fourth change clarifies the responsibility of transit providers to make seat or wheelchair securement space available to people who need it: The fifth amendment would reflect a recent statutory change in the name of the Department's transit agency from the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Consequently, we have not adopted the comments of manufacturers that opposed different procedures for manufacturers and transportation providers. We do not believe it is necessary to add language concerning the "one car per train" requirement. Frequently (e.g., at holiday times or other high-demand periods), Amtrak must obtain additional cars from nearby commuter rail authorities on short notice for a short period of time. Mr. X has Reasonable Cause for Not Filing and Turning Over Form 941 Withholding Taxes. The NPRM also noted that the Department's concerns did not relate to the cost of installing detectable warnings in key stations. Other firms claim that their products comply, even though the products differ from those diagrams which were submitted to FTA. A personal care attendant (as distinct from a friend or traveling companion) should be permitted to sit near a person with a disability, since the attendant may be needed to perform personal tasks for the individual with a disability during the course of the ride. "[wll,u&aElBK5#3cn6u. We would ask that you fill out a "Request for Accommodation" on the first instance of your request, and at that time, the procedure for obtaining your needed service will be explained. PAGE 1858 FR 63092, *63099transit agencies asked for guidance on how to identify people with hidden disabilities for priority seating purposes (one of these commenters suggested that such passengers self-disclose). The Department believes that existing research adequately documents the detectability of warning materials meeting or exceeding the current Access Board requirement, and, therefore, that the materials will mitigate this hazard. The NPRM also proposed to clarify the public participation obligations of parties asking for equivalent facilitation determinations. * * * * *(d) When Amtrak or a commuter authority leases a used intercity or commuter rail car for a period of seven days or less, Amtrak or the commuter authority may make and document good faith efforts as provided in this paragraph instead of in the ways provided in paragraph (c) of this section: [*63103](1) By having and implementing, in its agreement with any intercity railroad or commuter authority that serves as a source of used intercity or commuter rail cars for a lease of seven days or less, a provision requiring that the lessor provide all available accessible rail cars before providing any inaccessible rail cars. For work-related hardship license appeals, this means that you must provide a letter from your employer which explains your work hours and need for a license. It is appropriate for a driver, under this provision, to ask an ambulatory passenger with a disability to move to clear a wheelchair securement location when needed to accommodate a wheelchair user. Manufacturers and transit providers are different kinds of entities, in different situations (e.g., a transit authority has a local "public" for which it makes sense to hold a public hearing; a manufacturer probably does not). As a matter of guidance, we believe it is reasonable that if a passenger with a "hidden" disability wants a driver to ask someone to make room for use of a priority seat, the individual should tell the driver about the disability. 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Safety railings on platforms, while perhaps useful for safety of visually impaired passengers, could create crowding and obstacles for other passengers, and might not be practical given that train doors do not always stop at the same point on a platform. This product did not meet the original Access Board design requirement for detectable warnings. The third change would modify the Department's procedures for responding to requests for equivalent facilitation determinations. Two commenters suggested that, when possible, the driver seat disabled passengers on the right side of the bus, so that the driver could see if a passenger had problems with the securement device or needed a stop announcement. The warning must be of a contrasting color (i.e., dark vs. light) and texture (i.e., truncated domes vs. smooth surface), as well as (in the case of interior surfaces) differing from the platform in resiliency and sound-on-cane contact. WebPeople with disabilities are more likely to have income of less than $15,000 compared to people without disabilities (22.3% compare to 7.3%). For example, if a transit authority provides an on-board wheelchair for use by standees on lifts, the transit authority could not insist that a standee sit in the wheelchair in order to use the lift. For this reason, the final rule will permit transit providers who operate buses having this lift model to deny its use to standees (who would, of course, be eligible for paratransit as a result). Seven additional commenters favored longer delays. Remote . When reviewing the request for the medical disability exception, the officer must determine whether the medical professional explained that the applicant has a physical or developmental disability or mental impairment that prevents the applicant from being able This language should parallel that of @ 38.95(d). The DOT study alluded to by commenters, with some qualifications, does support the proposition that standees may use lifts safely and successfully.

Priority seats are intended for people with disabilities in general; a seat near the front of the bus may be as important to a blind individual as to an individual with a mobility impairment. If there are conductors or other transit personnel present in the passenger compartments, they would make the request when they saw a situation calling for it. Every train that Amtrak or a commuter authority operates after that date will have to have an accessible car. We do not believe that it is necessary to prohibit applications for equivalent facilitation concerning detectable warnings. * * * * *7. The NPRM proposed updating the terms used in the Department's ADA rules to conform to the ISTEA changes. Last fall, the Access Board proposed amending its guidelines for ATMs. We received this comment from 101 commenters, 80 of whom were disability organizations or individuals with disabilities. A transit provider said that, in case the Access Board changed its standard, detectable warnings that had been installed in the meantime should be grandfathered. The one exception concerns the EEC, Inc. "arcing" lift cited in the New York PTSB comment. Nine of these were state or local transportation agencies, four were disability community commenters, and one was a state or local agency working on disability matters. @ 38.113 -- [Amended] 11. Loss contingencies resulting from illegal acts The Nations transportation industries, which are not immune to the impacts and disruptions resulting from the spread of COVID-19 in the United States, are playing a vital role in mitigating the effects of COVID-19. A disability community commenter suggested that if a passenger decided using a lift was too dangerous, that passenger should be eligible for paratransit. Entities shall not claim that a determination of equivalent facilitation indicates approval or endorsement of any product or method by the Federal government, the Department of Transportation, or any of its operating administrations. It is the Department's understanding that this material involves a flat, painted-on surface with a sandpaper-like texture, which does not meet the Federal standard for a detectable warning. Other transit provider comments opposed all standee lift use on safety grounds. * * * * *PAGE 2658 FR 63092, *631026. endstream endobj 11 0 obj <> endobj 12 0 obj <>/ExtGState<>/Font<>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageC]/XObject<>>>/Rotate 0/Type/Page>> endobj 13 0 obj <>stream To the extent that installation of detectable warnings involves an extraordinarily expensive structural change to a particular station, the rail operator could use the cost of the installation as part of its rationale for requesting an extension of time to make the key station accessible. 107. WebThe ADA also outlaws discrimination against individuals with disabilities in State and local government services, public accommodations, transportation and The rule would not impose a uniform procedure; each transit system may devise a means best suited to its operations to carry out the requirement. Amtrak may have a standing reimbursable agreement with Boston or Washington/Baltimore area commuter authorities to borrow commuter rail cars on short notice in these situations. Secure .gov websites use HTTPS The first change would extend until July 1994 the compliance date for retrofitting key rail station platforms with detectable warnings. The final rule specifically bars claims by manufacturers that an equivalent facilitation determination constitutes a product endorsement by the Department. Some services, such as sign language interpreting, reader services, or personal assistance while on travel, can be provided by DRC on a continuing basis. A number mentioned the crowded, noisy, distracting atmosphere of rush hour train stations as being a situation in which a tactile cue like a detectable warning is particularly important. In this case, according to a press report, the platform's edge was "marked with abrasive material" in an attempt to provide a warning to persons with vision impairments. In an audit, your CPA is required to obtain an understanding of your businesss internal control and assess fraud risk. You need to document why you needed the missing records, and why they Some of these commenters expressed the concern that requiring enforcement could lead to confrontations between drivers and passengers or could disrupt service. It said that while new products have been developed, they have not yet been independently tested. On January 10, 1992, the FTA Administrator determined that the criteria under 49 CFR 37.9 had been met, and he advised EPI that the detectability of the Armor-Tile warning strip was equivalent to those meeting the Access Board guidelines. This "ask, don't tell" approach should help to avoid confrontations and disruptions of service while resulting in seating being made available for passengers who need priority seating in the vast majority of instances. The Department received over 550 comments on the NPRM, most of which came from individuals with disabilities or organizations representing them, state and local agencies working on disability matters, state and local transportation agencies, and equipment manufacturers. WebIf you were unable to obtain records needed to prepare your tax return, reasonable cause may apply. An official website of the United States government Here's how you know. * * * * *(d)(1) For purposes of implementing the equivalent facilitation provision in section 2.2 of appendix A to this part, the following parties may submit to the Administrator of the applicable operating administration a request for a determination of equivalent facilitation:(i)(A) A public or private entity that provides transportation facilities subject to the provisions of subpart C this part, or other appropriate party with the concurrence of the Administrator;(ii) With respect to airport facilities, an entity that is an airport operator subject to the requirements of 49 CFR part 27 or regulations implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act, an air carrier subject to the requirements of 14 CFR part 382, or other appropriate party with the concurrence of the Administrator. The rulemaking record also provides a sound basis for the propositions that detectable warnings address a significant safety need for persons with impaired vision and that an effective tactile cue that a person is reaching the platform edge is very important, particularly given factors in the rail station environment that may diminish the utility of aural and other cues to persons with impaired vision. PAGE 758 FR 63092, *63094Department takes notice. The Department believes that this period should give transit properties sufficient time to work out the installation and related problems to which the comments referred. One transit agency asked that the rule state that non-disabled passengers do not have to get off the bus to let a disabled passenger on. If, as the result of research the Department is conducting, or further research or determinations by the Access Board, some change in the technical. drc.interpreters@dot.gov Four state or local transportation agencies asked that FTA (or perhaps APTA) publish, in the Federal Register or elsewhere, its approvals of requests for equivalent facilitation, so that other transit authorities would know what products or accommodations were acceptable. 2. The FTA has learned that some manufacturers have been marketing products as "U.S. Government-Approved" or "ADA-Approved." See 57 FR 41006, September 8, 1992. Section 37.87 of the Department's ADA regulation provides that when Amtrak or a commuter authority purchases or leases or used intercity or commuter rail car, it must either obtain an accessible car or demonstrate the good faith efforts it has made to do so. The Department strongly urges such training programs to transit providers, both as a way of improving customer service and of reducing any risks which transit providers believe may be created by the use of lifts by standees. (It is our understanding that a number of rail properties have begun this task.) However, nothing in the study suggests that these problems appear insuperable; nor does the study suggest that a prolonged period of time (e.g., five years) is needed for rail operators to solve these problems. (iii) The entity shall sponsor at least one public hearing on the request and shall provide adequate notice of the hearing, including advertisement in [*63102] appropriate media, such as newspapers of general and special interest circulation and radio announcements.
