Overview

This course provides participants with a basic understanding of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) information needed to construct sidewalks and curb ramps on public rights-of-way that are compliant.  The class briefly discusses laws relating to accessibility and published guidance; however, the MoDOT ADA checklist is the basis for the updated class.  The focus is more on constructability and compliance issues and less on the legal background.  The MoDOT ADA Checklist has been recommended as a FHWA Best Practice for ADA projects and is now used on LPA projects as well as on MoDOT projects.  Attendees will view photos of real-life examples of good and bad ADA installations.  They will be encouraged to ask questions in open discussions on topics such as mobility aids and their operational space requirements.  Accessible route components such as sidewalks, curb ramps, detectable warnings, handrails, crosswalks and pedestrian controls at signalized intersections will also be covered.

Scholars Program - Level 1 - Core Course- 6 Hrs.
