Summary
All Stations Accessibility Program (ASAP) offers competitive funding to assist in the financing of capital projects to upgrade the accessibility of legacy rail fixed guideway public transportation systems for persons with disabilities, including those who use wheelchairs. The goal is to increase the number of existing stations or facilities for passenger use that meet or exceed the standards for new construction under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12131 et seq.), as incorporated into Appendix A of 49 CFR Part 37.
Legacy stations are defined as:
- Public transportation rail stations already constructed, or where construction began prior to January 25, 1992.
- Commuter rail stations already constructed, or where construction began prior to October 7, 1991.
- The stations were not identified as key stations (see 49 CFR § 37.47) and remain inaccessible to or unusable by persons with disabilities, including wheelchair users.
Common Eligible Projects
Eligible projects under ASAP include:
- Capital projects to repair, improve, modify, retrofit, or relocate infrastructure of stations or facilities for passenger use, including load-bearing members that are an essential part of the structural frame; or
- Planning projects to develop or modify a plan for pursuing public transportation accessibility projects, assessments of accessibility, or assessments of planned modifications to stations or facilities for passenger use projects or programs of projects in an eligible area.
