(1) Each facility or part of a facility constructed by, on behalf of, or for the use of a public entity shall be designed and constructed in such manner that the facility or part of the facility is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, if the construction was commenced after January 26, 1992. (2) Exception for structural impracticability. (i) Full compliance with the requirements of this section is not required where a public entity can demonstrate that it is structurally impracticable to meet the requirements. Full compliance will be considered structurally impracticable only in those rare circumstances when the unique characteristics of terrain prevent the incorporation of accessibility features. (ii) If full compliance with this section would be structurally impracticable, compliance with this section is required to the extent that it is not structurally impracticable. In that case, any portion of the facility that can be made accessible shall be made accessible to the extent that it is not structurally impracticable. (iii) If providing accessibility in conformance with this section to individuals with certain disabilities (e.g., those who use wheelchairs) would be structurally impracticable, accessibility shall nonetheless be ensured to persons with other types of disabilities, (e.g., those who use crutches or who have sight, hearing, or mental impairments) in accordance with this section.

Download or read book The Future of Disability in America written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-10-24 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of disability in America will depend on how well the U.S. prepares for and manages the demographic, fiscal, and technological developments that will unfold during the next two to three decades. Building upon two prior studies from the Institute of Medicine (the 1991 Institute of Medicine's report Disability in America and the 1997 report Enabling America), The Future of Disability in America examines both progress and concerns about continuing barriers that limit the independence, productivity, and participation in community life of people with disabilities. This book offers a comprehensive look at a wide range of issues, including the prevalence of disability across the lifespan; disability trends the role of assistive technology; barriers posed by health care and other facilities with inaccessible buildings, equipment, and information formats; the needs of young people moving from pediatric to adult health care and of adults experiencing premature aging and secondary health problems; selected issues in health care financing (e.g., risk adjusting payments to health plans, coverage of assistive technology); and the organizing and financing of disability-related research. The Future of Disability in America is an assessment of both principles and scientific evidence for disability policies and services. This book's recommendations propose steps to eliminate barriers and strengthen the evidence base for future public and private actions to reduce the impact of disability on individuals, families, and society.

Download or read book Study of Americans with Disabilities Act Public Rights of way Accessibility Guideline Impacts written by Ploisongsaeng Intaratip and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this research is to improve safety and mobility for the disabled community by examining the impacts of the Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG). Another aim is to identify the economic consequent for cities throughout United States for meeting PROWAG. The impacts of PROWAG were analyzed via the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plans; namely, what are the impacts on cities to meet PROWAG guidelines, how are the land size, population, and differences of city characteristic in each classification contributing to the differences in cost of improving facilities, and how are the costs and revenues contribute to the unduly burdensome standard? Twenty cities examined in this research were chosen because of the availability of informative ADA Transition Plans. After analyzing the Transition Plans, a classification schemes based on U.S. Census Bureau classification schemes general concepts was applied. The scheme divided cities into small cities areas with the population of 50,000 or less, medium cities areas with the population between 50,000 to 250,000, and large cities areas with the population of 250,000 or more. The cities were classified into 7 small cities, 7 medium cities, and 6 large cities. The descriptive statistics were calculated by using population, land size, and population density as factors for describing and comparing the differences of city characteristic in each classification. The differences of city characteristics in each classification show the effect of the cost of improving facilities. Therefore, a meta-analysis was calculated to demonstrate the city characteristics differences that contribute to significant differences in facility improvement costs. The results showed that the characteristics of the cost of improving facilities and PROWAG disproportionately affect different classification of cities. For instance, typical small cities required fewer facilities to be improved because of the small land size. While typical medium and large cities required more facilities to be improved because of the large land size. The percent of overall cost of improving facilities to the overall city's revenues/expenses were calculated by analyzing ADA Transition Plan and Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports. The results showed that small cities had the highest percent of overall cost of improving facilities to the overall city's revenue/expense compared to medium and large cities. In other words, small cities have the greatest financial impact to meet PROWAG guidelines. With limited revenue, the issue of unduly burdensome could be especially relevant in small cities. However, PROWAG has not been formally adopted and ADA Transition Plans are still developing. Therefore, the overall results of the research are preliminary due to the limitations of the data. Future research could involve another investigation after PROWAG is adopted and Transition Plans are more complete.
