	Title V of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) requires the U.S. Access Board (Access Board) to issue minimum guidelines for accessible design requirements for facilities. The U.S Department of Justice (DOJ) and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) use the U.S. Access Board’s guidelines as a basis to establish legally enforceable accessibility standards. The latest facility guidelines proposed by the US Access Board and approved by DOJ and DOT were published on September 15, 2010. The 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (2010 ADA) is now a legally enforceable accessibility standard under the ADA.

	The guidelines provided in MoDOT standards are based upon the federal requirements contained in the ''2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design'', based on ADAAG. Exceptions will be where the federal standards do not provide specific ADA accessibility aspects/requirements. In those cases, guidelines and best practices will be used based on the proposed PROWAG or other available FHWA guidelines. Where applicable, best practice references will be specifically cited in the guidelines.

	The ''Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices'' has been developed with the cooperation of the Access Board and can be considered the standard for traffic control regulations. Part 4, Chapter 4E specifically addresses traffic signals and Part 6, Chapter 6D addresses work zones. Other sections include pedestrian considerations as needed.

	Agreements with local jurisdictions or others will be used to address funding and maintenance issues for pedestrian facilities constructed on or off of MHTC right of way. Standard form agreements are available on the Chief Counsel's contract webpage. Detailed information concerning the sequence for preparing and executing a project agreement is available in EPG 235.2.3 Project Agreements. The agency responsible for maintenance will be established prior to construction. MoDOT assumes legal liability for pedestrian facilities on MHTC right of way unless this responsibility is addressed by agreement, with MoDOT personnel performing regular inspections to ensure proper maintenance is performed as provided under terms of the agreement. If maintenance is not performed as required by agreement, MoDOT will take necessary steps to ensure proper maintenance is provided with the cost borne in accordance with the agreement.

			Existing sidewalks shall be maintained within the project limits and are not allowed to be removed. ADA provisions state that projects shall not decrease, or have the effect of decreasing, the accessibility of a facility below the requirements for new construction in effect at the time of the alteration (PROWAG R202.3.1).

	In some cases, MoDOT may have only have a pavement surface maintenance obligation and the actual property may be owned by another local agency. In these cases, MoDOT should contact the agency to notify them of any needed ADA work along the corridor triggered by MoDOT resurfacing work. Area Engineers should be MoDOT staff to contact the local agency and to discuss the local agencies responsibility for ADA improvements that will be triggered by the MoDOT surfacing work.
