About
Whether you drive, ride, walk or roll, we are committed to providing the best accessibility possible to all people using the transportation system.
One of the ways we are doing this is by bringing curb ramps along our highways to current American with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility standards.
As part of this effort, we rebuilt or installed over 90 curb ramps along OR 47 in Vernonia.
Why are ADA curb ramps important?
ADA curb ramps make it easier for people to move between the sidewalk and the road. This can be helpful for those who have trouble stepping up and down high curbs. It's also helpful for people using wheelchairs, strollers, walkers, hand carts and bicycles.
By making curb ramps gently slope to the road, it improves accessibility and makes it easier for everyone to get around, whether they have a disability or not.
