Is the Federal Government planning to eliminate this choice and establish one design standard for new construction and alterations?
Yes. The Department of Justice is proposing to amend its current ADA Standards for Accessible Design (which incorporate ADAAG) to add sections dealing with judicial, legislative, and regulatory facilities, detention and correctional facilities, residential housing, and public rights-of-way. The proposed amendment would apply these Standards to new construction and alterations under title II. Under the proposed rule, the choice between ADAAG and UFAS would be eliminated.
