Caltrans ADA Self-Evaluation & Transition Plan

Caltrans is committed to bringing its entire infrastructure into compliance with state and federal ADA standards under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The United States Congress understood that it would be an insurmountable financial burden for a public agency to make all of the infrastructure they were responsible for accessible within a short time frame. As a result, public agencies are permitted to transition into full compliance through an ADA Transition Plan that identifies physical access barriers and proposes a schedule for removal of those barriers based on the financial abilities of the agency.

In accordance with Title 28 Code of Federal Regulations §35.105 (Self-Evaluation) and §35.150(d) (Transition Plan), Caltrans evaluates its services, programs, activities, policies, and facilities to identify barriers to accessibility and develop a coordinated approach for addressing those barriers. This includes assessing program accessibility and physical infrastructure within Caltrans’ right-of-way to ensure compliance with ADA requirements.

This ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan will be used to guide the planning, programming and implementation needed to make Caltrans’ facilities ADA compliant.
