R-1, Highways, April 16, 1999 R-2, Airports, May 14, 1999 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The State Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Transition Plan has been developed to fulfill the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (public law 101- 336) under the implementing regulations for Title II, 28 CFR Part 35 §35.150 (d). METHODOLOGY The DOT’s Transition Plan reflects the results of a comprehensive review and survey of the buildings, facilities, programs, and practices that are under the jurisdiction of the Department; who, through its functions, provide these programs and services to the public. The surveying and review identified both programmatic and architectural barriers to persons with disabilities interested in accessing the DOT’s programs and services. TIME LINE The DOT’s Transition Plan identifies those architectural barriers that require modifications to allow independent access to qualified persons with disabilities to the programs and services offered by the DOT. The removal of the barriers has been prioritized into two categories: Priority 1 and Priority 2. Priority #1 items identifies those barriers whose removal is essential to providing access to specific elements under the jurisdiction of the DOT (i.e. curb ramps, parking stalls, etc.) to access programs not otherwise accessible by modification of programs and practices. Those programs and services, located in buildings and facilities, identified as requiring architectural modifications to provide access to qualified persons with disabilities are included in the Priority #1 listing. All architectural barriers identified as a Priority #1, including those areas identified and requested by persons with disabilities, will be removed no later than December 2002. Priority #2 items identifies all other architectural barriers whose removal will be completed as planned alterations are made to a specific building or facility, but in no case later than December 2005. PUBLIC COMMENT DOT’s Transition Plan was made available for public input from December 14th through December 18th 1998, at the following locations: 1) Hawaii Services on Deafness, 2) Easter Seal Society of Hawaii, 3) Mental Health Association in Hawaii, 4) Hawaii Centers for Independent Living, 5) The Commission on Persons with Disabilities, and 6) Disabilities Rights Hawaii. All comments from the pubic have been reviewed and if appropriate, incorporated into the Priority #1 barrier removal schedule.
