The Department of Justice has assembled an official online version of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (2010 Standards) to bring together the information in one easy-to-access location. You will remember that the Department of Justice recently revised the Title II and III regulations (published in the September 15, 2010 Federal Register).
Remember that if the start date for construction is on or after March 15, 2012, all newly constructed or altered State and local government facilities must comply with the 2010 Standards.
Before that date, the 1991 Standards (without the elevator exemption), the UFAS, or the 2010 Standards may be used for such projects when the start of construction commences on or after September 15, 2010.
For more information about the New ADA Title II and III Regulations and these ADA Design Standards, the archived version of the Access Board and DOJ joint Webinar held on September 2, 2010 has finally been posted at: http://accessibilityonline.org/Archives/index.php?type=transcript&id=2010-09-02&app=4
