ADA Self-Analysis and Transition Plan

The purpose of this ADA Self-Analysis and Transition Plan is to ensure that the Town of Guilderland pedestrian infrastructure in the public right-of-way is accessible for everyone, including people with disabilities. Federal standards for pedestrian facilities in the public right of way were proposed in 2011 and were finalized and made effective in September of 2023. These standards will be enforceable once adopted by the US Departments of Justice and Transportation. The Town has made a commitment to improving the accessibility of pedestrian facilities in the public-right-of-way.


The Town has identified and evaluated all pedestrian infrastructure (pedestrian facilities) in the existing public right-of-way including curb ramps, sidewalks, crosswalks, pedestrian signals, and pedestrian accessible transit stops that are paved or concrete. This plan does not include unimproved paths, trails, or other unintended pedestrian uses of the public right-of-way.
