Short Statement: DOT is required by 49 CFR Section 37.215 (Attachment A) to review various requirements within the ADA regulations for OTRB companies. As part of this review, DOT is required to consider certain factors including the percentage of accessible ORTBs in the fleets of OTRB companies, the success of such companies at meeting the requests of passengers with disabilities for accessible OTRBs in a timely manner, ridership of OTRBs by passengers with disabilities, volume of complaints by passengers with disabilities, and the cost and service impacts of these requirements. After the review, DOT is required to decide whether it is appropriate to revise the ADA regulations for OTRB companies (i.e., whether certain provisions of the ADA regulations should be removed, modified, or made more stringent).
