Overview
Many state and local entities have found full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act within the public right-of-way to be a difficult goal to achieve. This OnDemand Webinar will provide proven techniques that will increase the chances of fully completing the ADA facilities the first time without costly mistakes or retrofits. This practical approach coordinates the survey, design, inspection and construction of ADA facilities and provides examples of successful designs and final construction. This comprehensive approach has paid dividends in both the construction and design phases within the private and public sectors and has served as a common sense model for many entities. Well built ADA facilities benefit both the disabled and able-bodied communities and provide facilities that will endure for decades while conserving precious financial resources.
Learning Objectives:
• You will be able to explain federal requirements.
• You will be able to discuss design options.
• You will be able to identify general construction problems.
• You will be able to recognize additional areas of concern.
