Comment Application Details
Type
Date 7/3/2023
The City of Lubbock (Citibus) must comply with all applicable Federal laws and
regulations related to this project, including the ADA Standards for Transportation
Facilities, based on the U.S. Access Board's ADA Accessibility Guidelines. Found here:
http://www.access-board.gov/guidelines-and-standards/transportation/facilities/ada-
standards-for-transportation-facilities
Specifically, Citibus must comply with the ADA Standards for Transportation Facilities
Comment when constructing/renovating bus shelters. The following is a non-exhaustive list of ADA
standards that Citibus must comply with and document compliance of:
Bus Shelter Construction/Renovation
• As required under DOT ADA Standard 810.2, Citibus must ensure new, altered, or
relocated bus stops must have a firm, stable surface and must provide a clear length of
96 inches (2,440 mm), measured perpendicular to the curb or vehicle roadway edge,
and a clear width of 60 inches (1,525 mm), measured parallel to the vehicle roadway.
• As required under DOT ADA Standard 810.2, Citibus must ensure bus stops must also
connect via an accessible route to streets, sidewalks, or pedestrian paths.
• As required under DOT ADA Standard 810.2, Citibus must ensure the slope of the bus
boarding and alighting area in the direction parallel to the roadway must be the same as
that of the roadway to the maximum extent practicable. Perpendicular to the roadway,
the slope must not exceed 1:48, that is, not more than 1 inch of rise over a horizontal
distance of 48 inches.
• As required under DOT ADA Standard 810.3, Citibus must ensure that the minimum
clear floor or ground space (as set forth in Section 305) must be entirely within the
shelter to accommodate individuals using wheelchairs and must be connected to an
accessible route that complies with Section 402 to the boarding and alighting area.
As noted above, these requirements apply to the extent that construction specifications
are within the control of public entities; compliance is required to the maximum extent
practicable. If a transit agency does not own the right-of way, but another public entity
does own it, FTA encourages the transit agency to work with the public entity to come to
an arrangement where a bus boarding and alighting area that complies with Section
810.2 to the maximum extent practicable is provided.
The information provided above is intended as technical assistance and applies only to
the project as described. Should the project scope change or new information on the
project be provided, FTA may require a re-evaluation of the project information as it
relates to ADA and require additional information. This confirmation is not an express or
implied promise of project compliance with the ADA.
