Designing Accessible Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Rights-of-Way Series
This series of four individual courses is intended to provide practicing traffic and highway engineers, planners and transportation managers with a better understanding of the latest Public Rights-of-Way guidelines developed by the US Access Board, and how they can be applied in better designing sidewalks and intersections to accommodate persons with disabilities. Each of the four course modules is designed to be informative in the area of identifying the needs of persons with disabilities, provide practical engineering approaches to successfully addressing these needs on existing facilities, and serve as catalysts in promoting innovative solutions to similar challenges at future locations.
Target Audience: The principal target audience for this learning program is transportation practitioners, designers and planners.
Prerequisite: Designers need to have civil engineering, architecture or landscape architecture design experience, particularly related to horizontal and vertical design of surfaces. They need to be able to calculate grades, and understand geometry. They should also be familiar with the ADA Accessibility Guidelines. Basic knowledge of street and intersection design, as well as intersection drainage principles will be helpful. It is assumed that participants follow the series by starting with Module 1 and continue in order through Module 4.
The series includes:
