## Summary

**Expands and modernizes transportation accessibility for people with disabilities** by creating targeted paratransit pilots, enforceable pedestrian standards, and an open accessibility data program to guide planning and accountability. - Creates a one-stop paratransit pilot to reduce ride gaps by allowing at least one outside-the-vehicle stop of at least 15 minutes and requiring transit agencies to partner with current operators and engage the existing workforce. It encourages tech like dynamic routing and real-time tracking to speed service. - Directs the Attorney General to issue enforceable pedestrian facility standards within 180 days and requires the Department of Transportation to set a formal, multi-channel complaint process with notice and annual public reporting on outcomes. These steps aim to strengthen on-the-ground accessibility and enforcement. - Establishes an open-source accessibility data pilot to measure multimodal access, disaggregated by income, race, age, disability type, and geography, with diverse participants and an eight-year sunset. The data must be shared with states, metropolitan and rural planning organizations, and researchers. *Would authorize $75 million per year for 2025–2029 for pilots and cap federal funding at 80 percent of project costs, increasing federal outlays for these programs.*

## Provisions PRIA read

- Easier disability complaints for transit riders: benefit, medium. Within one year, DOT would allow disability discrimination complaints by phone, mail, and online. Each year, DOT would publish how many complaints were filed, investigated, and how they were resolved, and try to post a five‑year lookback. Within 18 months, transit providers and paratransit contract…
- Pilot to allow one stop on paratransit: benefit, medium. Within six months, DOT would launch a pilot letting ADA paratransit riders make one 15‑minute stop during a trip. Transit agencies could apply if they use the current operator and workforce and agree to share ride data. The federal share could cover up to 80% of costs, with $75 million a year for 2…
- Accessible sidewalks and crossings standards: benefit, medium. Within 180 days, the Attorney General would issue rules for new and rebuilt sidewalks and street crossings in public rights‑of‑way. The rules would adopt Access Board guidance and make the standards enforceable. Designers, builders, and public agencies would need to meet these accessibility standar…
- Better data to plan accessible travel: benefit, low. Within one year, DOT would start a pilot to create open‑source data on how easy it is to get around. The data would cover buses, trains, ride‑hailing, bike routes, and ADA‑compliant sidewalks, and show results by income, race, age, disability, and place. States, regional planners, local governments…
