In 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is signed into law by President George Bush, requiring accessibility for mobility-impaired riders to virtually all forms of transit.
The act represents a paradigm shift in how transit agencies provide service, with new minimum accessibility standards set for vehicles, stations, paratransit plans, equipment and more. The ADA also results in higher equipment costs for transit services and a slew of complicated compliance questions.
