The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed in 1990. Subsequent laws, regulations, statutes and codes, all based upon the ADA, have been passed since then. The amount of confusion generated, regarding how compliance with them is made, is evident by the subsequent publication of multiple sources of guidance, on the exact interpretation of those laws. 

This 1 hour course is intended to focus primarily on one subject, contained within the myriads of access legislation. Here we will look at the paving, on which the disabled must travel, to even arrive at facilities which will hopefully also be accessible for their use. We will first examine transitions from public roadways to public walkways. Parking areas at publicly funded facilities will be discussed. We will then conclude with the requirements placed by the ADA, on the owners of private parking areas.
