Abstract:

These updated guideline specifications are for use by accessible vehicle purchasers in preparing specifications for passive lifts. A passive lift is one that when stowed allows the unimpeded use of the door in which the lift is located. Passive lifts are commonly used on large buses in fixed-route transit operations. These guidelines are an update of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration’s (now Federal Transit Administration - FTA)“Guideline Specification for Passive Wheelchair Lifts” prepared in 1986. Major changes have been made in order to be in agreement with 49 CFR, Part 38. Part 38 is based on guidelines and requirements issued by the Architectural and Transportation Barrier Compliance Board, as required by Title’s II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) of 1990. Part 38 sets forth DOT standards in compliance with the Board’s guidelines and requirements for accessible transportation vehicles. These updated guideline specifications also include changes based on experience since 1986 and on comments and suggestions of people from the transit industry who have reviewed drafts of these new guideline specifications.
