Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan
for
Public Rights-Of-Way (ROW) Overview
In an effort to make Marion County’s pedestrian facilities
within the public Right-Of-Way (ROW) accessible, the County is
engaged in developing an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan
for Public Rights-Of-Way (ROW). The Plan will demonstrate Marion County’s
commitment to providing equal access to sidewalks, curb ramps, signalized
intersections and related services within the public ROW for citizens with
disabilities. The plan will focus on the County’s existing inventory, and prioritize
future ROW improvements to facilities accessible by the public.
ADA Transition Plan for Public Rights-of-Way
This plan is intended to:
·
Evaluate ROW services, policies, and practices;
·
Identify modifications needed to services,
policies, and practices;
·
Identify physical barriers that
limit the accessibility of ROW facilities for individuals with disabilities;
·
Describe the methods to be used to make the
facilities accessible;
·
Provide a prioritization for making modifications to
improve access on ROW facilities;
·
Identify the public officials responsible for
implementation of the Transition Plan; and
·
Involve people with disabilities, individuals
and groups that encounter barriers, and the public in the preparation of the
Plan.
