TCRP Releases Two Publications |
The Transportation Research Board recently released two Transit Cooperative Research Program publications:
Report 143: Resource Guide for Commingling ADA and Non-ADA Paratransit Riders. The core features of this guide are two decision-making processes: planning and operations. It presents important lessons learned from transit agencies that have made decisions both to commingle and not to commingle their Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and non-ADA paratransit riders. Non-ADA paratransit riders include non-sponsored older adults, non-sponsored persons with disabilities, other agency funded persons, the general public, persons receiving Medicaid, Title III persons, non-sponsored low-income persons, and persons in the Head Start program.
Research Results Digest 97: Transit Agency Compliance with Title VI-Limited English Proficiency Requirements. This digest explores the legal issues associated with transit operators’ limited English proficiency (LEP) compliance efforts. It is designed to serve as a single source of information concerning the development and current status of transit LEP implementation efforts by state and local legislative and operational bodies.
These publications are available online. |
