ADA PED RAMPS PRESENTATION
This document summarizes an analysis of curb ramp accessibility that evaluated 107 curb ramps across three locations based on Caltrans standards. It assessed the condition of the curb ramps and found that 12 were excellent, 63 were good, 20 were fair, and 12 were poor. The analysis aims to identify high priority locations for curb ramp improvements given limited budget constraints and ensure accessibility for people with mobility difficulties.

Editor's Notes
- #3 -Disabilities are not as strong as us, decrease slopes -Codes change over time. Need to update the curb ramps as new codes published
- #5 -United States Access Board, AdA Best Practices Tool Kit for State and Local Governments, and 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design
- #6 -Listed the curb ramps that are located close to Parks, Hospitals, and Schools
- #7 Caltrain’s standard plan for all the curb ramps cases. - Case A, B, and C are the most common in Alameda County.
- #8 -3 different scoring system due to 3 different cases, A, B, and C (different criteria are being measured) -points assigned based on all the curb ramps that were being investigated. Poor condition does not necessarily mean bad; it just says it is bad when comparing it to rest of the curb ramps so that we can prioritize which curb ramp needs to be fixed.
