QUESTIONS POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS Checklist for Existing Facilities version 2.1 © revised August 1995, Adaptive Environments Center, Inc. for the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research. For technical assistance, call 1-800-949-4ADA (voice/TDD). 4 Add a ramp if the route of travel is interrupted by stairs. Add an alternative route on level ground. Repair uneven paving. Fill small bumps and breaks with beveled patches. Replace gravel with hard top. Change or move landscaping, furnishings, or other features that narrow the route of travel. Widen route. Move or remove protruding objects. Add a cane-detectable base that extends to the ground. Place a cane-detectable object on the ground underneath as a warning barrier. Install curb cut. Add small ramp up to curb. Lengthen ramp to decrease slope. Relocate ramp. If available space is limited, reconfigure ramp to include switchbacks. Yes No width distance from wall/ height slope Accessible Approach/Entrance People with disabilities should be able to arrive on the site, approach the building, and enter as freely as everyone else. At least one route of travel should be safe and accessible for everyone, including people with disabilities. Route of Travel ( ADAAG 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.7) Is there a route of travel that does not require the use of stairs? Is the route of travel stable, firm and slip-resistant? Is the route at least 36 inches wide? Can all objects protruding into the circulation paths be detected by a person with a visual disability using a cane? In order to be detected using a cane, an object must be within 27 inches of the ground. Objects hanging or mounted overhead must be higher than 80 inches to provide clear head room. It is not necessary to remove objects that protrude less than 4 inches from the wall. Do curbs on the route have curb cuts at drives, parking, and drop-offs? Ramps ( ADAAG 4.8) Are the slopes of ramps no greater than 1:12? Slope is given as a ratio of the height to the length. 1:12 means for every 12 inches along the base of the ramp, the height increases one inch. For a 1:12 maximum slope, at least one foot of ramp length is needed for each inch of height. Priority 1
