    (a) A recipient shall operate each program or activity to which this 

part applies so that when each part is viewed in its entirety it is

every part of a facility accessible to and usable by handicapped 

persons.

    (b) A recipient is not required to make structural changes in 

existing facilities where other methods are effective in achieving 

compliance with this section. Where structural changes are necessary to 

comply with paragraph (a) of this section, such changes shall be made as 

soon as practicable, but in no event later than three years after the 

effective date of the regulation.

    (c) In the event that structural changes to facilities are necessary 

to meet the requirement of paragraph (a) of this section, a recipient 

shall develop, within six months of the effective date of this part, a 

transition plan which sets forth in detail the steps necessary to 

complete the changes, and a schedule for taking those steps. The plan 

shall be developed with the assistance of interested persons, including 

handicapped persons or organizations representing handicapped persons. A 

copy of the plan shall be made available for public inspection.
