PART 37--TRANSPORTATION SERVICES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES (ADA)--Table of Contents
 
                  Subpart C--Transportation Facilities
 
Sec. 37.41  Construction of transportation facilities by public entities.


    A public entity shall construct any new facility to be used in 
providing designated public transportation services so that the facility 
is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, 
including individuals who use wheelchairs. This requirement also applies 
to the construction of a new station for use in intercity or commuter 
rail transportation. For purposes of this section, a facility or station 
is ``new'' if its construction begins (i.e., issuance of notice to 
proceed) after January 25, 1992, or, in the case of intercity or 
commuter rail stations, after October 7, 1991.
