MnDOT ADA Training Module 3: Compliance Checklists
ADA Compliance Checklists must be filled out for all constructed pedestrian facilities. 3
ADA Compliance Checklist Guidance 4
Guidance Ramp Types: New for 2013 5
NOTE: Documentation shall record the largest cross slope value, and running slope value after checking several locations. If any portion of the ramp is non-compliant provide a detailed explanation why ramp cannot be constructed fully compliant. 6
(1) PAR 1) Minimum 4 ft. wide Pedestrian Access Route (PAR) with maximum cross slope of 2% 7
2) Record landing slopes (max. 2% in any direction) 8
3) Landing dimensions are a minimum 4 x 4. 9
4) Landings are located at the top of each ramp. Is it over 5%? Is there a change in direction? 4 x4 min 4 x4 min 10
5) Ramp s running slope must be less than or equal to 8.3%. 11
6) Ramp s cross slope must be 2% maximum. 2% max 12
7) Record gutter flow line slope and inslope. 13
8) Spec 2521.3C: Check ramp running slope with 10 straight edge. Look for bellies or ridges greater than 3 /16 inch. 14
9) Truncated domes cover the entire curb opening and meet setback criteria. Shall be 2 ft. max offset adjacent to walkable surface Detectable Warnings Minimum 4 wide Shall be 5 ft. max offset adjacent to non-walkable surface 15
9) Curb tapers are considered a detectable edge when tapers start within 3 of truncated domes and rise to a minimum 3 curb height. 0 0 3 min. 3 Minimum, 4 Preferred Curb Height Between Ramps Measured at Face of Curb 0 0 16
9) Truncated domes shall extend full width of the ramp landing or Blended transition within 3 on either end Truncated domes are not covering all of the 0 in. curb 3 3 17
9) Radial Detectable warnings shall be set back 3 to 6 from back of curb. 3 6 3 18
9) Whenever rectangular domes are placed around a radius, they may be set back up to 9 in the middle and 3 at the corners. 3 9 19
10) Check gutter line and ramps are draining properly and not holding water. Check after rain event. 20
11) No vertical discontinuities greater than ¼ inch anything over ½ inch and the panel should be replaced. 21
11) No vertical discontinuities greater than ¼ inch 22
12) If any portion of the ramp is not compliant and cannot be made to be compliant, be sure to document the pre-construction and postconstruction ramp conditions and explain why the ramp cannot be made to be fully compliant include photos with documentation. Also circle one of the given reasons that best describes why the ramp isn t compliant. 23
A) Surrounding Geography: The ramp could not be constructed to be compliant because of surrounding geography. Examples: Having to tie the walkway into doorways, entrances or steps Roadway adjacent to the walk has steep slopes so that it is impossible to construct the ramp using maximum slopes and staying within 30 of the back of curb Gutter flow line in front of truncated domes is too steep to maintain compliant ramp cross slope 24
B) Limited Scope of Project: Upgrading the ramp to meet standards would have required work that is outside the scope of the project. Examples: Utilities such as fire hydrants, street lights, signal poles, manholes, etc. that could not be moved as part of the project Standalone ADA projects without adjacent pavement work limit curb line elevation changes Lack of available right-of-way or could not agree with property owner 25
C) Contractor Performance: The ramp could have been constructed to be compliant, but the contractor failed in constructing the ramp. If any compliance standards are not met due to contractor performance, rework is required before the project is substantially complete. See Specification 1503 (Conformity with Plans and Specifications). 26

APS Compliance Checklist Compliance Checklists and Guidance on ADA web site. 28
APS Compliance Checklist 1) Push buttons stations are properly placed and the push button faces are oriented properly. 29
APS Compliance Checklist 2) Distance from crosswalk edge to push button face: 30
APS Compliance Checklist 3) There must be a 4 x 4 landing adjacent to the push button. 31
APS Compliance Checklist 4) Distance from the push buttons to the back of curb: 1.5 to 10 back of curb Ideally 4-6 back of curb 32
APS Compliance Checklist 5) Distance between the push buttons: 10 ft. minimum 33
APS Compliance Checklist 6) Push button height: Height of 42 +/- 2 42 42 34
APS Compliance Checklist 7) The push button needs an unobstructed side reach of 10 maximum. Side Reach 10 Maximum 35
APS Compliance Checklist 8) If any of these standards are violated, provide an explanation describing which parameters were violated and why. Documentation: Save originals for your records. And: Email completed checklists to *DOT_ADA Compliance Checklists (or ADAComplianceChecklists.dot@state.mn.us for external users). 36
