ADA Transition Plan
U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ) regulations require that State and local governments must develop a Transition Plan that details how they plan to address and remedy barriers that have been identified. Both KYTC and organizations that receive funding from KYTC must comply with Title II of the ADA, 28 C.F.R. Part 35 Sec. 35.105 and Sec. 35.150. The Cabinet must perform the aforementioned self- evaluation and prepare a Transition plan.
KYTC’s ADA Transition Plan contains information on the condition of KYTC’s pedestrian network and steps that will be taken in accordance with the ADA of 1990 to ensure all Cabinet facilities are accessible to individuals with disabilities.
This Transition Plan is only intended for transportation facilities owned or operated by KYTC. The Cabinet recognizes that a significant portion of curb barriers, non-compliant curb ramps, and inaccessible pedestrian corridors are located within the jurisdiction of cities, municipalities, and other local governments. Although these locations lie beyond KYTC’s responsibility, the Cabinet strongly recommends that local communities develop and adhere to their own Transition Plans as required by Title II of the ADA.
Who May File an ADA Grievance/Complaint?
Pursuant to Title II of the ADA, people who use KYTC facilities and services have the right to file a grievance or complaint if they believe the Cabinet has not provided reasonable accommodations. 28 C.F.R. Part 35.107 provides detailed information on filing a complaint. Per the Grievance Complaint Procedure, a formal complaint must be filed within 180 calendar days of the alleged occurrence.
If any person or any specific class of persons believes they have suffered discrimination or retaliation prohibited by Section 504 or Title II of the ADA, they may by themselves, or through a representative, organization, or business entity, file a complaint.
For purposes of ADA, a person with a disability is an individual who:
-
Has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities,
-
Has a record or history of such an impairment, or
-
Is perceived or regarded as having such an impairment
