View More In 2015 FTA published detailed guidance in the form of a Circular to transit agencies on how to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA Circular represents a major milestone in assistance to the transit community. It thoroughly explains ADA requirements for public transit, providing real-life situations as examples of good practices to ensure accessible services for riders. The document does not amend or supersede the DOT ADA regulations; rather, it offers explanatory scenarios and sample templates.
