Kan. Admin. Regs. § 21-70-32 - Transportation
(a) Each
public accommodation which provides any transportation service shall ensure
that each service provided by the public accommodation is available and
accessible to people with disabilities. Necessary modifications may include:
(1) retrofitting with lifts or ramps
(2) retrofitting with P.A. systems
(3) retrofitting with visible
signage
(4) using color coding on
vehicles and routes
(b)
Only those modifications which are readily achievable shall be required.
However, good faith efforts shall be made to accomplish readily achievable
modifications which make transportation services as accessible as possible.
This regulation shall not be considered to require premature replacement of any
existing vehicle.
(c) All services
shall be provided equally in the most integrated manner possible to all
individuals with disabilities including:
(1)
equal fares for all people regardless of accommodation provided;
(2) equal access to all discounts, specials,
programs, passes, and any other event or service in the most integrated setting
possible;
(3) accessibility to all
fixed routes and shuttle services operated by units and subdivisions of
government, unless an undue hardship would occur; and
(4) use of accessible vehicles in the
existing fleet of vehicles, operating to the maximum extent feasible. When
determining whether an activity referred to herein is readily achievable,
providing an equivalent accommodation by contractual or other indirect means
shall be considered.
(d) Each new vehicle used to transport the
general public shall be accessible unless the vehicle is not generally
available in an accessible design from factory dealerships or custom chassis or
body manufacturers. At a minimum, a nationwide search shall be undertaken for
vehicles available in an accessible design before it can be claimed as a
defense that it is not possible to obtain them.
