Providing an accessible transportation system is one of seven areas of ODOT’s Accessibility Program. Other elements range from access to buildings to employment opportunities.
People with disabilities and everyone who uses sidewalks along the state transportation system will benefit from:
- Upgrades to existing curb ramps and pedestrian signals
- New ADA-compliant curb ramps and pedestrian signals where there are none currently
- ADA-compliant curb ramps and pedestrian signals in all future ODOT projects
