Section 510-RICR-00-00-17.3 - Transition Plan

Universal Citation: 510 RI Code of Rules 00 00 17.3

Current through September 18, 2024

A. A plan should list those facilities accessible complying with the standards established by the Rhode Island Building Code Standards Committee. By utilizing program accessibility pursuant to R.I. Gen. Laws Chapter 42-46 all meetings required to be open to the public are permitted to be relocated to a facility that complies with public meeting accessibility standards. For example, if an existing town hall was not accessible in a community, but a new police/fire station or school complied to the standards, meetings could be relocated to that site to conform.

B. Failure to find conforming space in a community would require changes to be made to existing structures to facilitate compliance. In this event a transition plan should set forth in detail all the steps necessary to complete the changes required to make the facilities accessible.

C. The plan should be compiled with the assistance of interested persons, including handicapped persons or organizations representing the disabled. The plan shall:

1. Identify physical obstacles in the facility that limits the accessibility of its program or activity to handicapped persons.

2. Describe in detail the methods that will be used to make facilities accessible.

3. Specify the time schedule for taking the steps necessary to achieve full program accessibility.

4. Indicate the person/persons responsible for implementation of the plan.
