Pursuant to our telephone conversation yesterday, please note that Objective 2 1 5. of the TransportationElement of Volusia County1s Comprehensive Plan calls upon Volusia County and VOTRA~~ to provide.among other things"! passenger, amenities and accommodation of the special needs of the transportationdisadvantaged. Policy 2.1.5.9. requires Vo!usia County to coordinate with VOTRAN to ensure that thetransportation disadvantage population is adequately served. Policy 2.1.5.4. further calls upon Vo!usiaCounty to coordinate with VOTRAN to provide passenger amenities along major public transportationcorridors. Other similar policies may be found under Objective 2.1.5.

Insofar as we've contracted with Tindale Oliver to conduct field work and analysis to implement theCounty's planning program (i.e., the Comprehensive Plan) and develop policies and desiqn Quidelinesconsistent therewith (see Scope of Services for Contract No. 11-SQ-162SR), I do believe-we should beable to provide Tindale Oliver with a task assignment under our present contract to provide the design'guidelines for the RFP for ADA-compliant bus benches.

In that presentation to Council concerns were also .voiced about how a program with a privatecompa"-ly would work.

Both ofthose conceins are easily complied with.

As you'are likeiy aware, the County, whenconfronted with the same issue. simnlv left all their,existing sign rules in place, and added one sentence to-the appropriate statJ~te g;~ili;~-~- --­exception to the sign rules where they related to advertising on bus benches a.';:d bus ;betters inthe FDOT right of way. That proved a very simple, efficient. and effective solution. No slinnen;slope there. . - ' , . . ---r r --"

Tom, when last we spoke about those benches which were inside the City limits yOU advised me to leavethem there until the matter could come before Council. That meeting took place hetween yourself, Alanjames, jeff Aiiebach and myself. To date, I was not aware of any change of heart you may have hadiegaiding this. If there is, please advise.

It has also come to my attention that staff tried to peiSuade you that I was iess than totaiiy honest withyou coiiceiiling the request to remove those ongina; 4 benches in question, made by then VOTRAN GM,Ken Fischer. In layman's language, that is an as! Ken called me directly and stated very specificaily therequest had come direct from Orange City staff. rv1oreover, if FDOT had initiated the request, it wouldhave come direct to me as we have a strong working relationship \r..,.ith Rick Snow at FOOT. He has caHedme directly each and every time there is a question or issue with any of the 600 benches we ownCountywide. Especially those on State Roads like 17-92. To suggest that he, or anyone at FDOT. tooksuch a circuitous routeto contact us is fanciful, at best. _.

These benches though which are not within Orange City's citylimits, and are contractually covered by being in unincorporated Voiusia County are ones 'wve would not bewil!ing to remove.

Good morning Gerry,

The project appears 10 be entirely within the city limits of Deland. Valran is the transit agency, but we donot have any ownership of the bus stop improvements within the city. Bus stop improvement in the rightotway must be authorized by the City of Deland. The benches with advertising belong to Waverly Media,under contract to the City of Deiand (see Florida Administrative Code 14-20.0032 Placement of Benches).

You should be a\Alare that:

FDOT has a document "Accessing Transitu which is in the process of being up\:iated to {n~QfpQrate

recent ADA and FOOT legislation (Section 337.408 F.S.)

We have ihe attached types of diagrams as guidelines for bus stops thaI were identified by FOOT in theirpublication "Accessing transit". ii describes the ideal size of a bus pad as 10 by 30 feet. Of course thereare many limitations that actually result in the bus boarding area being less than ideal. I hope this helps.For further guidance you should check diiectly with FOOT because guideiines and standards have been..........:~ ........I';::'V!~~U.

Votran is in the process of analyzing the ADA accessibility of bus benches throughout the county. A goodnumber of the benches placed by the current contractor are not ADA accessible and Votran is working tocreate a standard that can be used to get benches up to ADA requirements.

One of ihe chaiienges with bringing these benches up to ADA is determining the 'jlght of 'Nay avaiiabie atthe different iocations to determine how much space we've got to work with when we start building padsand ramps etc... in a recent meeting with County Management and Lega! it "vas suggested that! contactyou for assistance once i received a current bus bench list from our contractor. I finally received anupdated list which I have attached. Additionally, I have attached the final draft (which will become thefinai document very soon) of the document Tindale-Oliver document Votran wi!! use as an attachment tothe RFP for a new bus. bench advertising contract.

Are you the person! need to talk to regarding right of way avaiiability at stops and if so what additionalinformation beyond the attached list vviii help you in gathering this information?

I appreciate any help you can provide.

1=0 iivTRODUCTiO/V;.2 DISCLAIMER

The guidellne-s included in this document are intended to provide general parameters for per­

sonnel and organizations when designing and placing bus stops and amenities in the pub!lc

right-ot-way. This document is not intended to be an engineering design manual, and it does

not provide site-specific detailed public transit, engineering, aichitecturai, construction, or legal

information. Users of thisdoeument will need to adjust the information contained in the guide~

lines to site-specific needs, constraints, and applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. if a

user desires expert advice concerning any of the information in these guidelines, the user is

encouraged to retain the services of an appropriate expert.

Some bus stops, pubiic seating benches, and other amenities at bus stops currently in piaee in

the public domain at existing Votran transit facilities are inconsistent with the goais and guide­

lines presented in this document. !n some instances, bus stop conditions and placement are

defined by the underdeveloped corridors or roads they serve. In these cases, application of the

design guideiines in this document may be limited by a lack of right-of-way development, con­

straints due to the natural terrain, unimproved roadways with no infrastiuc1ure (e.g., curb, gut­

ter, drainage; sidewalks, etc.), or because of the policies and standards of the jUrisdiction in

"Ihlen the bus stop is located. Because of these conditions, Votran may not be able to improve

the pubiic right-of-way sufficient to support an accessible bus stop placement until such time

as major improvements are planned and funded. The facilities can best be improved through a

coordinated planning and design effort between Votran and the local agencies responsible for

maintaining and upgrading the roadway and pedestrian rights-ot-way.

Votran has a responsibility to ensure that bus stops and amenities are piaced in a manner that

provides access and use by individuals with disabiiities and must, therefore, use non­

discriminatory judgment when planning for the placement of bus stops for pubiic use. This

judgment may result in refusal by Votran to either place or allow piacement of a bus stop at a

desired location because site conditions prevent an accessible environment reSUlting in a non­accessibie transit stop. Establishment of a new bus stop at a site where full access is afforded

is mandated by the ADA.

3.1 ELEMENTS OF AN ACCESSIBLE ENViRONMENT

Bus stops shouid be designed to make transit more convenient, accessible, and aestheticallyappealing to transit users. These me?sures are necessary if public tra.nsportation is to competeeffectively with other transportation modes. The proper design of bus stop zones and adjacentcurbs can increa.se transit access and convenience by eliminating barriers, especially for thoseindividuals with mobiiity limitations. The ADA mandates equal access to mass transit for everyU.S. citizen, thereby requiring every ne"A, bus and bus stop to be wheelchair accessibie to themaximum extent practic.ab!e. All eiements, including benches, piaced at or near bus stops foruse by the pubiic in conjunction with use of the transit system must also be fully compliant withthe ADA provisions as adopted by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Regulatory Requirements for Accessible Transportation Facilities are provided by theFedeial and state governments. The ADAAG includes the Federal regulations governing ac­

cessible transportation facilities and is enforced by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The. h h'J J I ."'. L' .. " • ct' L' •.ADAAG provIdes 1. e arc, .l.ec!ura, speCi!iCS Tor me constru\; ion OT new ana alteration of exist-

The Florida State regUlatory requirements are provided under the Fiorida BUilding Code, Chap­ter 11 FAC fer Building Construction. The FAC generally mirrors the requirements of theADAAG, but is somewhat more stringent in some areas such as accessible parking spaces

and accessible restroom configurations.

The foiiowing information provides a general overview of the accessibility regulations require­ments for bus stops and facilities that may affect the accessibiiity to or use of a bus stop andamenities placed at the bus stop. Not aii of the ADAAG requirements are given here. Onlythose pertinent for the understanding of personnel responsible for bus stop siting and p!ace­

ment of amenities in an accessible manner are listed.

.. Accessible Pedestiian Routes

o Must be 36" minimum width, continuous, and unobstructed path (note thatthe 2012 FAC requires a 48" deai accessibie pathway which can be re­duced to no less than 36" when approved by the Engineer).

o Must have a 32" minimum width at door...,ays.

o Must have 60" X 60" passing spaces at 200' intervals (if <60" Wide).

o Running slope (direction of tiavel) must be equai to or less than 5 percent

(1 :20) (>5% =ramp i ramp slope cannot exceed 8.33%.)

<> Cross slope (perpendicular te direction of travel) must be equal to or lessthan 2 percent (1 :48).

o Changes in level greater than 1/2" are not allowed or must be ramped.

o Gaps in gratings within the accessible pathway must be no greater than 1i2"wide and openings must be aligned perpendicular to travel.

o The mB!Cimum ,,.,aik\A/ay cross slope permitted is 1:48 (20/0).

o Post or column-mounted objects must not be more than a 12" protrusion.

o Overhead ciearance must be equai to or greater than 80" above the surface.

o The maximum ramp running slope permitted is 1:12 (8.33%).

o The maximum ramp cross slope permitted is 1:48 (2Cio).

o Side flare (transition) slopes must be no greater than 1:12,

o Curb ramps must be 48" wide (FOOT ,Design Standards, Index 304 - widthmay be reduced to 36" as required by ADAAG in restricted conditions and

as approved by the Engineer).

o Curb ramps must have detectabie warning materiai the fuii widih of ramp

and 24" from back edge of curb,

o Curb ramps must have a 48" long landing at top of slope (FOOT Design

Standards, Index 304).

o Curb ramps must have detectable warning in truncated dcmes \"/ith pattern

4.0 RFSEARCH & FIfVDINGS4.1 CeCE ApPUCABiLirf DiSCUSSiON FOR BENCH PLACEMENT AT Bus STOPS

The ,/1,D,fJ.v/1,G contains specific requirements fer benches in Section 903. However, the seopingprovisions of the ADAAG indicate that Section 903 is only applicable to benches located in in­

terior spaces such as dressing, fitting, and locker rooms (803.4), and in hoiding and housing

cells (807.2.2).

Additionaiiy, to reinforce agreement of the above comment, it is necessary to note that accord­

ing to direct communication with U.S. Access Board technica! staff, ADAAG Section 903 is not

applicable to benches placed in the pubiic right-af-way. However, the Public Rights-of-Way Ac­

cessibiiity Guideiines published by the Access Board (PROWAG are not enforceable regula­

tions at the time of this writing) do specify accessibility gUidelines for benches in the pUblic right

-of-way. PROWAG particularly emphasizes the need to consider the dimensions and use of

pedestrian circulation routes Ylhen coordinating the piacement of improvements, appurte=nances, utilities, Oi street furniture (inciudingbenches). Comments from disability organizations

and indIviduals have identified blocked or compromised pedestrian routes as a major barrier to

independent trave!.

FDOT has taken an aggressive posture concerning the placement of benches and other

amenities within the public right~of-way, particulariy at transit stops. Rule 14-20.0032, Place­

ment of Transit Bus Benches, specificaily addresses requirements for benches placed in the

pubiic right-af-way. This rule utilizes many of the requirements of ADAAG Section 903 and

PROWAG R212.6 covering the plac.ement and dimensional characteristics for benches. This

Votran Bus Stop Design standards document has been developed to inc-Orporate the FDOT

(PROWAG) and ADAAG requirements for benches and the applicable requirements are in­

cluded on the following pages.

5.0 DESiGiV STANDARDS &seE/VARIOS5.1 PRIORITY CONSIDERAT!ONS FOR BENCH At..lD SHELTER PLACEMENT AT Bus STOPS

This section describes important considerations for bench and shelter placement at bus stops.

ADA standards require all bus stops to have sufficient space for a boarding and aiighting area

that has a firm, stable, and slip-resistant surface to accommodate boarding and alighting at the

stop. When a bench or sheiter is jiiOvided at a bus stop, a boarding and alighting area con­

crete pad is required and must be located within the speclfJed clear zone for the roadway envi­

ronment being used according to FOOT Design Standards, index Number 700. if bus stop

amenities in addition to a bus stop sign are provided, the bus stop boarding and alighting area

shail be connected to the amenities, streets, sidewalks, and/or existing pedestrian infrastruc-

ture by an accessibie route.

1. Bus access characteristics (critical) - This category involves characteristics related

to the use of a paiticuiar ioeation by a transit entity for a bus stop. For a location to be

viabie for application of a bus stop, requirements must be met for vertical and side

clearanc.e of the bus, turning radius of the intersection, curb lane width, parking clear

zone, and presence of driveways, among other criteria. Placement of a bench at a site

that does not provide an accessible environment is not recommended and may present

liability issues for the transit agency.

2. Patron accessibiiity characteristics (critical) - Once it is deteiITlined that a bus is

capable of safely accessing a potentia! bus stop loc:ation, it next must be determined

whether patrons can access the location conveniently and safely. To do this; patron

access toifrom and use of the site must be assessed. For a location to be viable from

the point of view of the transit patron, requirements must be met for the presence,

width, and relative connectivity of sidewalks where appiicable, the presence of an ADA

boarding and alighting area (minimum 5-foot by 8-foot) enabiing clearance for wheel­

chair iifUramp deployment, and the presence of accessible connecting pedestrian path­

ways and curb ramps, among other potentia! considerations.

3. Site infrastructuie characteristics (non-critical) - If buses and patrons are both ableto successfuiiy access a potential bus stop loc-ation, then the location should be suit­

able for the placement of a bus stop. As noted previousiy, the purpose of evaiuatinQ the" "~ ,~ L ~ •• " '"" +,.. i t' d.. , • t· f- th t "thO thsIte li1!raSl!Ul,;lUre c! ,araCl.enSllCS I", LV ,oca e me oesl spo or e s op WL .!n •..e gen~

erai area of the location. in considering placement of a bench or shelter, issues that

should be identified and considered in establishing the best placement at a stop within

a particular location include utilities, guide wires, signage, and other potential obstruc­

tions to visibility and access; the pissence of driveways and other access points to ad-jacent deveiopment; and the presence of parallel parking.

5.2 GUIDELINES FOR BENCH PLACEMENT

The foiio'Ning aie minimum gUidelines for the piacement of benches at bus stops. These guide­

lines are written in concert with established accessibility requirements found in AD,l:J.AG and the

FAC,

Wheelchair ClearanceMinimum clear width for a single wheelchair passage shall be 36 inches continuousiy.

Note: Clearance for new locations or locations to be adjusted should provide for 48-inch clear­

ance to be in conformance \"Iith FDOT design standards and the 2012 FAC.

Minimum clear length of 96 inches (measured perpendicular from the curb or vehicle roadway

edge) and a minimum clear 'wll,idfh of 50 inches measured paraitei to the curb or roadway (8-footdeep by 5-foot "A,ide total space) wiii be piOvided on new construction to the maximum extent

allowed by iegai or site constraints for deployment of a wheelchair liftjramp from a bus.

~.~inimum 60~inch clearanc~ between bench and fire hydiants.

Minimum 3D-inches by 48-inches clear area at the front edge of the bench to provide space for

a wheelchair to maneuver at the bench and allow the transfer from wheelchaii to bench if de­

sired. See Exhibit 5.2.1 for suggested bus stop design layouts. There are a myriad of design

layout options, and the ones shown are typicai for urban, suburban, or rural environments.

Clearance between Bench and Other Bus Stop Components (Trash Cans, Shelters! and

Kiosks)Avoid placement of bench next to waiis or fences. ·If possible, maintain 36-inch clearance in

front of and behind bench. If not possible, place bench within 4 inches of waii or other struc­

ture. However, this placement must maintain 36 inches in fiCnt of bench for accessible path

clearance.

Benches placed adjacent to shelters should allow an accessible route not less than 36 inches

minimum! 48 inches preferred.

Benches may be placed within a bus shelter. A spac.e no less than 30-inches by 48~inches at

one end of the bench must be provided fully within the shelter fer wheelchair parking. Most bus

stop shelters are designed to include benches placed to provide for a Wheelchair turning space

of at least 60 inches. The space required for a wheelchair to make a 180-degree turn is a ciear

space of 60 inches in diameter.

SCENARIO 1: GRASS/EARTH STRIP BETWEEN CURBfROAD\NAY EDGE AND EXiSTiNGWALKWAY

This scenario solution can be applied at urban, suburban, or rural environments.

The determination of a site for bench placement at a bus stop that affords the greatest accessi­bility practicable given the existing site conditions is essential. Piacement of the bench mustallow'access by an individual using a wheelchair, A minimum 36" wide path to the bench andan area no less than 30" perpendicular and 48" parallel to the bench must be provided. Thebench location must provide an unobstructed acr....essib!e path from the bus stop boarding andaliahtinaarea to the bench. -- -All new work, or alterations to existing sites, must be performed in compliance with ADAAGreaulations bv maintaining a cross slope less than 2% and running slope less than 5% exceDtthat the boarding and alig~"ting area must coincide with sicpe of the roadway. Connection to'existing curb/roadway edge and existing walkway must be consistent with ADAAG surface andwalkway regUlations by ensuring that the connection provides a smooth transition with achange in level not to exceed 1/4 inch. VVa!king surfaces of new work must be slip resistant ­generally achIeved by a broom finish to standard conciete surface.- -

This scenario solution can be applied at urban, suburban, or rural environments.

The determination of a site for bench p\2c:ement at-a bus stop that affords the greatest accessi..biiity practicabie given the existing site conditions is essential. Pla~ment of the bench mustaiiow access by an individual using a wheelchair. A minimum 3en wide path to the bench anda·n area no iess than 30;) perpendicular and 48" parallel to the bench must be provided. Thebench ioeatlon must piovide an unobstructed accessible path from the bus stop bearding andaiighting area to the bench,

SCENARiO 3: RURAL ENVIRONMENT WITH GRASS/EARTH ALONG CURB/ROADWAYEDGE - NO EXiSTiNG WALKWAY OR INFRASTRUCTURE AT BUS STOP S!TE OR OTHERRiGHT-Of-WAY ABUTMENTS.

Transit agencies are required by the ADA to select a site for the creation of a bus stop that af­fords the greatest accessibility practicable given the rouie and site conditions.

This scenario solution can be applied at suburban or rural environments where no infrastruc­ture exists and no pedestrian pathways have been established formaily or informally. However,it is presumed that the minimum 5'-by 8'-bus stop boarding and alighting area has been estab­lished by the transit agency with a paved material.

\,iVithout infrastructure support such as waikways, curb ramps, crosswalks, pedestrian or vehl­cie control devices, or other forms of pedestrian rights-of-way amenities (except for the pavedboarding and alighting area), passengers are at risk whenever entering into the environmentdescribed in this scenario as it is assumed that the roadway shoulder provides the pathway toand from the bus stop. However, in certain instances, particularly in undeveloped rural areas,the establishment of public transit services may serve the best interest of the community.Given this condition, bus ~top sites must be selected to provide the most accessible environ­ment possible.

Placement of a bench at sites where undeveloped and non-accessibie connections to the busstep is not provided is net recAjmmended. Ho\a,ever, in good faith to provide seating at thesestops, placement of benches must aiso be accomplished in the interest of providing the mostaccessible placement arrangement possible. Direct connection to the paved boarding andalighting area is required to afford access to the bench by individuais w~h disabilities.

Given this scenario, a more suitable iocation must be identified to estabiish a bus stop unlesssite conditions and traffic patterns aliaw the bus to stop in the road\&..ay and board or alight pas­sengers directly onto an existing shoulder meeting the boarding and aiighting area reqUire­ments of the ADA. Otherwise, the site will have to be improved or another site chosen for thestop.

Placement of a bench at sites where undeveloped and non-accessible connedlons to the busstop are not provided are not recommended. However, in good faith to provide seating atthese stops, placement of benches must also be accomplished in the interest of providing themost acc-essible placement arrangement possible. Direct connection to the paved boardingand alighting area is required to afford access to the bench by individuais v/ith disabilities.
