Paragraph (b) specifically provides that a public accommodation
shall remove transportation barriers in existing vehicles to the extent
that it is readily achievable to do so, but that the installation of
hydraulic or other lifts is not required.
Paragraph (c) provides that public accommodations subject to this
section shall comply with the requirements for transportation vehicles
and systems contained in the regulations issued by the Secretary of
Transportation.
Subpart D--New Construction and Alterations. Subpart D implements section 303 of the Act, which requires that newly constructed or altered places of public accommodation or
commercial facilities be readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. This requirement contemplates a high degree of convenient access. It is intended to ensure that patrons and employees of places of public accommodation and employees of commercial facilities are able to get to, enter, and use the facility. Potential patrons of places of public accommodation, such as retail
establishments, should be able to get to a store, get into the store, and get to the areas where goods are being provided. Employees should have the same types of access, although those individuals require access to and around the employment area as well as to the area in which goods and services are provided.
The ADA is geared to the future--its goal being that, over time, access will be the rule, rather than the exception. Thus, the Act only requires modest expenditures, of the type addressed in Sec. 36.304 of this part, to provide access to existing facilities not otherwise being altered, but requires all new construction and alterations to be accessible.
