                328. Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) Accessibility Guidelines for
                Transportation Vehicles; Rail Vehicles
                 E.O. 13771 Designation: Other.
                 Legal Authority: 42 U.S.C. 12204
                 Abstract: This rulemaking would update the Access Board's existing
                accessibility guidelines for transportation vehicles that operate on
                fixed guideway systems (e.g., rapid rail, light rail, commuter rail,
                and intercity rail) and are covered by the Americans with Disabilities
                Act. The existing ``rail vehicles'' guidelines, which are located at 36
                CFR part 1192, subparts C to F and H, were initially promulgated in
                1991, and are in need of an update to, among other things, keep pace
                with newer accessibility-related technologies, harmonize with recently-
                developed national and international consensus standards, and
                incorporate recommendations from the Board's Rail Vehicles Access
                Advisory Committee's 2015 Report. Revisions or updates to the rail
                vehicles guidelines would be intended to ensure that ADA-covered rail
                vehicles are readily accessible to and usable by individuals with
                disabilities. Compliance with any revised rail vehicles guidelines
                would not be required until these guidelines are adopted by the U.S.
                Department of Transportation in a separate rulemaking.
