stops and to develop the ADA required self-assessment and Transition Plan.
• The study includes inventorying conditions at bus stops and facilities throughout the
system for compliance to ADA guidelines and design standards, identifying and
prioritizing improvements to address deficiencies in accessibility, security, operational and
passenger guidelines and developing a phasing plan to implement the required
improvements based on anticipated funding.

August 28, 2014
• The guidelines include such measures as provision of a minimum size, and maximum
slope for a firm, stable surface area for boarding the bus, adequate connecting pathways to
the stop, etc.
• Of the 527 bus stops, 492 have non compliant lighting and boarding standards, 220 have
non compliant curb ramps and only 1 fully conforms to all current ADA requirements.
• The stops in need of attention will be prioritized with a total cost to complete the required
improvements to the system being estimated at$3.5M.

and grant money is available to address those stops on State highways (53 total).

Island, developers, etc.
• The Plan will be reviewed by the Metropolitan Planning Organization(MPO) Board and
Board of County Commissioners.
• The Department intends to address 5 to 6 stops annually at an expenditure of$25K.
• Having a Plan in place reduces the County's liability by being proactive in addressing the
needs of those individuals benefitting from the American Disabilities Act.
