Ohio LTAP is hosting a 3-part training on Designing Pedestrian Facilities for Accessibility.

Facilities in the public right-of-way (including walkways, ramps, curb ramps and turning spaces, detectable warning surfaces, crosswalks, and pedestrian overpasses and underpasses) must be designed, constructed and maintained to serve all users.

To meet the needs of all users, those involved with designing, building and maintaining infrastructure need a clear understanding of the wide range of abilities that occur within the population and the challenges in the public right-of-way faced by persons with disabilities. This will be conveyed via discussion, photographs and videos.

The course will identify applicable laws, regulations, guidelines and standards pertaining to accessibility for persons with disabilities. Requirements for ensuring accessibility in existing facilities versus work in new construction and alterations will be also discussed, as well as design elements necessary for achieving accessibility in the public right-of-way.

Topics Include:

• Pedestrian access route and curb ramps
• Detectable warning surfaces and cross walks
• Accessible pedestrian signals and on-street parking
