SUMMARY:ADA Self Evaluations/Elements Of PROWAG (
DESCRIPTION:With the 25-year anniversary of the passage of ADA\, it is critical that local governments recognize their obligation to upgrade streets\, sidewalks and facilities for accessibility. ADA requires that public agencies perform self-evaluations and prepare transition plans. They were to have been completed by July 26\, 1992 and be updated periodically. The morning portion of the workshop examines the background to\, contents of and enforcement of the self-evaluation and transition plan requirements. Several landmark court cases are also highlighted. A case study is presented to illustrate these items. Participants will leave the session with a “To Do” list of next steps they need to take and a toolkit of helpful resources. The afternoon session overviews the current criteria for accessible public rights-of-way including the pedestrian access route\, curb ramps and detectable warnings\, accessible pedestrian signals\, street furniture\, on-street parking and temporary traffic control requirements for pedestrians.

SUMMARY:Bicycles and Pedestrians: Meeting the Needs of All Users
DESCRIPTION:Many communities in the United States were not designed for pedestrian and bicycle travel. However\, today walkability and bikeability are important for active transportation and are indicators of a livable community. The objective of this workshop is to equip participants with information on providing safer\, more connected\, more comfortable\, accessible communities so that walking is a viable transportation choice for everyone\, including seniors\, children and people with visual\, mobility and other disabilities and that bicycling is a viable transportation choice for people of all ages. The class provides current information on the design\, operation and maintenance of successful pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Emphasis is placed on the importance of maintaining accessibility and compliance with relevant guidelines while at the same time encouraging innovation. This workshop should be of interest to those in a variety of fields including engineering (design\, traffic\, maintenance and construction) and public works\, planning\, landscape architecture\, recreation and parks\, law enforcement and public health-related fields. \nPDH – 6 hours Master Road Scholar Credit A Zoom link to attend will be sent the day before the class starts.
