I don’t understand how it takes a public authority over thirty years to become ADA compliant.

My understanding is that existing stations were grandfathered but need to be brought up to compliance once major renovations are made.
Without funding associated with the passage of the ADA, transportation agencies had no ability to renovate all their stations.

And the fact that ALL OF THEM aren’t required to do this??? Under the ADA, they all should be.

They’re required to only if major renovations are done

Unfunded mandate foisted upon us transit agencies with no money and terrible capital cost controls.

It wasn’t just foisted upon transit agencies though.

It's important, but like it or not it stuck major agencies with billions in upgrades with no funding mechanism.

I meant not only transit agencies got the unfunded mandate. Everyone did.
