Self Evaluations & Transition Plans and PROWAG (Golden)

Course Description:

It has been more than 30 years since the passage of ADA and, therefore, it is critical that local governments recognize their obligation to upgrade streets, sidewalks and facilities for accessibility.  ADA requires that public agencies perform self-evaluations and prepare transition plans.  They were to have been completed by July 26, 1992 and be updated regularly. 

The morning portion of the workshop examines the background to, contents of and enforcement of the self-evaluation and transition plan requirements.  Several landmark court cases are also highlighted.  A case study critique of an actual transition plan is presented to illustrate these items.  Participants will leave the session with a “To Do” list of next steps they need to take and a toolkit of helpful resources. 

The afternoon session overviews the current criteria for accessible public rights-of-way including the pedestrian access route, curb ramps and detectable warnings, pedestrian crossings, accessible pedestrian signals, street furniture and on-street parking.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify a local agency’s responsibilities under the ADA, Section 504 and other laws
• Create/revise a self-evaluation and transition plan for their agency’s facilities in the public right-of-way
• Identify relevant disability access compliance standards and techniques
• Evaluate an existing or planned facility for compliance with PROWAG
