Public Comment on Passenger Vessel Guidelines

The Access Board has released for public comment a revised draft of

guidelines for passenger vessels it is developing under the Americans

with Disabilities Act (ADA). The guidelines provide accessibility

criteria for various types of vessels, including cruise and gaming

ships, ferries, and excursion boats, among others. The draft is

available for comment until September 5th. A notice published in the

Federal Register provides instructions for submitting comments. The

draft guidelines and notice are posted on the Board's website at
