When there is one or more aisle-facing seats on a fixed route non-rail vehicle, at least one of these seats must be designated as a priority seat. For over-the-road buses, the vertical clearance at doorways shall be 65 inches (1650 mm) minimum.T502.2.2 Other Vehicles.

A ramp with a 1:6 maximum slope, while perhaps not independently usable by all individuals who use wheeled mobility devices, nonetheless presents a safer and more usable method of boarding and alighting for most mobility device users. The vertical clearance at doorways with lifts, ramps or bridgeplates shall comply with T502.2.

Handrails and stanchions with a circular cross section shall have an outside diameter of 11/4 inches (32 mm) minimum and 2 inches (50 mm) maximum.T303.3.3 Handrail and Stanchion Non-Circular Cross Section. Audible and visible notification shall be provided onboard indicating when passengers have requested to disembark at the next stop on the fixed route. documents in the last year Automated announcement systems also lessen the need to rely on operators of non-rail vehicles for compliance, and, thereby, allow operators to pay more focused attention on driving or other operational tasks.Both ITS/AVL deployments generally, and deployments that include automated announcement systems, have exhibited tremendous growth in recent years. Characters shall be displayed in sans serif fonts and shall not use italic, oblique, script, highly decorative, or other unusual forms.T702.3 Character Proportions. The ADA wheelchair ramp requirements are legally necessary for businesses and organizations including churches, schools and commercial buildings.

the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with Audible route identification announcements shall be broadcast externally at boarding and alighting areas using synthesized, recorded or digitized speech. Low floor buses have a lower vehicle floor (typically 15 inches or less above the roadway) that permits a flat—rather than stepped—area at doorways. Supporters of the requirement, who represent a broad cross-section of commenters—including persons with disabilities, advocacy organizations, academia, and transit industry associations—expressed their firm belief that automated announcement systems would bring much-needed consistency to stop and route announcements on fixed route buses and, thereby, ensure that passengers with disabilities have access to critical information needed to use public transportation systems. Seats on non-rail vehicles shall comply with T213.T213.2 Priority Seats. Handrails shall be provided at fare collection devices and shall be configured so that they can be used for support when at the fare collection device.T207.4 Circulation Paths. In the existing guidelines, 22 feet is the maximum length for small vehicles. Seat belts and shoulder belts provided for passengers who use wheelchairs shall comply with T701.1 Scope. Counts are subject to sampling, reprocessing and revision (up or down) throughout the day. Second, the Final RA's small business analysis evaluates the number of small businesses that potentially may be affected by the 2016 Non-Rail Vehicle Guidelines. Ramps and bridgeplates 30 inches (760 mm) or more in length shall be designed to support a load of 600 pounds (273 kg) minimum, placed at the centroid of the ramp distributed over an area of 26 inches by 26 inches. documents in the last year For public transit systems, ITS deployments generally include a “core” set of applications for Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) and Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) that facilitate management of fleet operations by providing real-time information on vehicle location. Operable parts shall be located adjacent to the toe end of the clear space or shall be located no more than 10 inches (255 mm) measured from the centerline of the long dimension of the clear space.T601.1 Scope. ADA Ramp Specifications Require a 1:12 ramp slope ratio which equals 4.8 degrees slope or one foot of wheelchair ramp for each inch of rise. Measurements are stated in U.S. and metric customary units. 4.8.1* General Any part of an accessible route with a slope greater than 1:20 shall be considered a ramp and shall comply with 4.8. Some scoping provisions have also been editorially revised for clarity. APTA and a statewide association of transit managers noted their general approval for this proposal. documents in the last year Automated route identification systems shall audibly and visibly identify the fixed route on which the non-rail vehicle is operating. That is, it is assumed that, every third year during the 12-year regulatory timeframe, one transit agency will “cross” the VOMS 100 threshold, and, thereby, become newly subject to the requirement for automated announcement systems.
