Sec.  27.19  Compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements 
and FTA policy.

    (a) Recipients subject to this part (whether public or private 
entities as defined in 49 CFR part 37) shall comply with all applicable 
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 (42 
U.S.C. 12101-12213) including the Department's ADA regulations (49 CFR 
parts 37 and 38), the regulations of the Department of Justice 
implementing titles II and III of the ADA (28 CFR parts 35 and 36), and 
the regulations of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) 
implementing title I of the ADA (29 CFR part 1630). Compliance with the 
EEOC title I regulations is required as a condition of compliance with 
section 504 for DOT recipients even for organizations which, because 
they have fewer than 25 or 15 employees, would not be subject to the 
EEOC regulation in its own right. Compliance with all these regulations 
is a condition of receiving Federal financial assistance from the 
Department of Transportation. Any recipient not in compliance with this 
requirement shall be subject to enforcement action under subpart F of 
this part.
    (b) Consistent with FTA policy, any recipient of Federal financial 
assistance from the Federal Transit Administration whose solicitation 
was made before August 26, 1990, and is for one or more inaccessible 
vehicles, shall provide written notice to the Secretary (e.g., in the 
case of a solicitation made in the past under which the recipient can 
order additional new buses after the effective date of this section). 
The Secretary shall review each case individually, and determine whether 
the Department will continue to participate in the Federal grant, 
consistent with the provisions in the grant agreement between the 
Department and the recipient.
