ADA Training

ADA Compliance for Design & Construction

The MaineDOT and the Maine chapter of the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) have been collaborating to identify areas where we are finding technical and program challenges and are developing solutions to those challenges. With a renewed focus on ADA compliance and the development of new standard details for curb ramp design, this topic was identified as a challenging area. We have developed training to educate designers and construction staff on ADA expectations, both in design and in the field.
