ADA ChecklistforReadily Achievable BarrierRemoval
How to Use this Checklist

Get Organized One person can conduct a
survey, but its easier with two people. One person can take measurements and the other person can fill out the checklist and take photos.
WhatisReadilyAchievableBarrierRemoval?
TheAmericanswithDisabilitiesAct(ADA)requirespublicaccommodations(businesses and nonprofit organizations) to provide goods and services to people with disabilities onanequalbasiswiththerestofthepublic. Businesses and nonprofit organizations that serve the public are to remove architectural barriers when it is readily achievable to do so; in other words, when barrier removal is easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficultyorexpense. The decision of what is readily achievable is made considering the size, type, and overall finances of the public accommodation and the nature and cost of the access improvements needed.Barrier removal that is difficult now may be readily achievable inthefutureasfinanceschange. This checklist is intended to assist public accommodations as the first step in a planningprocessforreadilyachievablebarrierremoval. Public accommodations ADA obligations for barrier removal can be found in the DepartmentofJusticesADATitleIIIregulations28CFRPart36.304.
Obtain Floor Plans A floor plan or sketch

helps the surveyors get oriented and know how many elements, such as drinking fountains and entrances, there are and where they are. If plans are not available, sketch the layout of interior and exterior spaces. Make Copies of the Checklist Determine how many copies of each section of the checklist you need. For example, most facilities have more than one toilet room. Gather Tools Checklist Clipboard makes it easier to write on the checklist Tape measure Electronic or carpenters level 24 inches Door pressure gauge or fish scale for measuring dooropening force Digital camera Bag to hold these items

Conduct the Survey

Start Outside Start from site arrival points
such as dropoff areas and public sidewalks and determine if there is an accessible route to an accessible entrance. If there is a parking lot or garage check for the correct number of accessible parking spaces, including van accessible spaces. Is there an accessible route from the accessible parking spaces to an accessible entrance? Next survey the entrances. If there is an accessible entrance, determine if there are signs at inaccessible entrances directing people to the accessible entrance. Go inside and continue through the facility and the checklist. Keep Good Notes Write on the front of each checklist where you are surveying. You may end up with six toilet room checklists. When you get back to your office youll want to know which one is the checklist for the first floor womens room. If there isnt an accessible entrance youll want to indicate how many steps there are and how much space is available to install a ramp or lift. This is a good time to take photographs. Take Good Measurements When in doubt write it down. Its better to have too much information than not enough. Even if something is in compliance its helpful to have exact measurements.
2010ADAStandardsforAccessibleDesign
This checklist is based on the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (2010 Standards). The specifications are in this checklist to help determine what may be readilyachievablebarrierremovalforexistingfacilities.Thischecklistdoesnotinclude all sections of the 2010 Standards. For example there are no questions about patient rooms in hospitals or guest rooms in hotels. Consult the 2010 Standards for situations not covered in the checklist. Full compliance with the 2010 Standards is required only fornewconstructionandalterations.Thewebaddressforthe2010Standardsisinthe Resourcessection.
SafeHarborConstructionPriortoMarch15,2012
ElementsinfacilitiesbuiltoralteredbeforeMarch15,2012thatcomplywiththe1991 ADAStandardsforAccessibleDesign(1991Standards)arenotrequiredtobemodified to specifications in the 2010 Standards. For example, the 1991 Standards allow 54 inches maximum for a side reach range to a control such as the operating part of a paper towel dispenser. The 2010 Standards lower that side reach range to 48 inches maximum. If a paper towel dispenser was installed prior to March 15, 2012 with the
highest operating part at 54 inches, the paper towel dispenser does not need to be lowered to 48 inches. Since the dispenser complies with the 1991 Standards, that Standardprovidesasafeharbor.
NewElementsinthe2010ADAStandards
The 2010 Standards contain elements that are not in the 1991 Standards. These elements include recreation facilities such as swimming pools, team or player seating, accessibleroutesincourtsportsfacilities,saunasandsteamrooms,fishingpiers,play areas, exercise machines, golf facilities, miniature golf facilities, amusement rides, shooting facilities with firing positions, and recreational boating facilities. Because these elements were not included in the 1991 Standards, they are not subject to the safe harbor exemption. Public accommodations must remove architectural barriers to these items when it is readily achievable to do so. For example, a hotel must determine whether it is readily achievable to make its swimming pool accessible by installingalift,aslopedentryorbothasspecifiedinthe2010Standards.
Parking Spaces Measure from the inside edge of the painted line to the inside of the opposite painted line or edge of space. Door Clear Width Open the door 90 degrees, measure from the face of the door to the edge of the door stop. Door Opening Force If youre using a door pressure gauge place it where you would push open the door.
If youre using a fish scale place it where you would pull open the door.
WhatthisChecklistisNot
The ADA Title III regulations require more than barrier removal. The regulations include requirements for nondiscriminatory policies and practices and for the provision of auxiliary aids and services, such as sign language interpreters for people who are deaf and material in Braille for people who are blind. This checklist does not coverthoserequirements. Since this checklist does not include all of the 2010 Standards it is not intended to determinecompliancefornewconstructionorfacilitiesbeingaltered.

Accessible Slopes You can measure slope with a 24 inch level and a tape measure. Put the level on the surface in the direction you are measuring. Put one end at the high point of the surface and raise the other end so that the bubble is in the middle of the levels gauge. The level is now level. Measure the distance between the end of the level at its bottom point and the surface. For a ramp the maximum running slope allowed is 1:12. That means for every inch of height change there should be at least 12 inches of ramp run. If the distance between the bottom of the level and the ramp surface is 2 inches or less, then the slope is 1:12 or less (2:24 = 1:12 and 1.5:24 = 1:16 which is a more gradual slope than 1:12). If the distance is greater than 2 inches, the ramp is too steep. For example, if the distance is 3 inches, then the slope is 1:8 (3:24 = 1:8 which is a steeper slope than 1:12). For the parts of an accessible route that arent a ramp, the maximum running slope allowed is 1:20. That means for every inch of height change there must be at least 20 inches of route run. The distance from the bottom edge of the level to the surface should be no more than 1.2 inches (1.2:24 = 1:20).

For the cross slope of an accessible route the maximum slope allowed is 1:48. The distance from the bottom edge of the level to the surface should be no more than inch (.5:24 = 1:48). The cross slope of an accessible route is the slope that is perpendicular to the direction of pedestrian travel. Slopes may also be measured using a digital level. Be sure to read the instructions. Measure with the percent calculation rather than the degrees calculation. For a ramp the maximum running slope allowed is 8.33% (8.33% is a 1:12 slope). For an accessible route without a ramp the maximum running slope allowed is 5% (1:20). For the cross slope of an accessible route the maximum slope allowed is 2.083% (1:48).

Check that You Got Everything Before you leave the site review all the checklists. Make sure you know which checklist goes with which entrance and which toilet room and that youve got all the information you need. It is better to do it now than to have to go back.
After the Survey

List Barriers and Solutions Consider
the solutions listed beside each question on the checklist and add your own ideas. Consult with building contractors and equipment suppliers to estimate the costs for making modifications.

Develop an Implementation Plan
Acknowledgements
Many of the illustrations are from the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Access Board or are based on illustrations produced by the U.S. Access Board and the U.S. DepartmentofJustice.
Although an implementation plan is not required, the Department of Justice recommends such a plan, specifying what barriers will be removed and when solutions will occur: "...Such a plan...could serve as evidence of a good faith effort to comply..." Prioritize items, make a timeline and develop a budget. Where the removal of barriers is not readily achievable, consider whether there are alternative methods for providing access that are readily achievable such as curbside takeout service at a restaurant with an accessible intercom system outside. Make Changes Use the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Note: Until March 15, 2012 the 1991 ADA Standards for Accessible Design may be used for readily achievable barrier removal. Check whether local and state building codes require greater accessibility when alterations are undertaken.
Follow Up Review the implementation plan

each year to evaluate whether more access improvements have become readily achievable.
