What Is ADA Compliance Consulting?
ADA compliance consulting for paver infrastructure involves the systematic assessment, documentation, and remediation planning of public walking surfaces to meet the requirements of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG). This includes field inventory, deficiency mapping, prioritization, cost estimation, and transition plan integration.
How ADA Compliance Consulting Works
Comprehensive Paver Inventory
We conduct a field inventory of all paver surfaces within the agency's jurisdiction using GPS-mapped data collection. Each surface is assessed for slope, cross-slope, width, surface condition, and trip hazard presence.
ADA Deficiency Mapping
Identified deficiencies are mapped using GIS data to create a visual overview of non-compliant surfaces. Each deficiency is categorized by severity and type (trip hazard, slope violation, width deficiency, surface condition).
Prioritization Framework
We develop a prioritization methodology based on factors including proximity to government buildings, schools, transit stops, medical facilities, and complaint history — aligned with DOJ guidance for ADA Transition Plans.
Cost Estimation & Budget Planning
Detailed cost estimates are prepared for each remediation phase, enabling municipalities to plan multi-year capital improvement budgets for ADA compliance.
Transition Plan Integration
All findings and recommendations are formatted for direct integration into the municipality's ADA Transition Plan, meeting the requirements for public agencies with 50+ employees under 28 CFR 35.150(d).
Why Municipal Agencies Need ADA Compliance
Title II of the ADA requires every public entity with 50 or more employees to develop and maintain an ADA Transition Plan identifying physical barriers to accessibility and outlining a schedule for their removal. This requirement has been in effect since January 26, 1995. Many Indiana municipalities have outdated or incomplete transition plans that do not adequately address paver infrastructure. The U.S. Department of Justice and FHWA have increased enforcement actions against municipalities with deficient transition plans.

Click a question to reveal the answer.
Does my city need an ADA Transition Plan?
Yes, if your city, town, or county employs 50 or more people. Under 28 CFR 35.150(d), all public entities with 50+ employees are required to have an ADA Transition Plan identifying physical barriers and outlining a schedule for their removal. This requirement has been in effect since January 26, 1995.
What happens if our ADA Transition Plan is outdated?
An outdated or incomplete ADA Transition Plan leaves your municipality exposed to DOJ enforcement actions, private lawsuits, and loss of federal funding eligibility. The DOJ and FHWA have increased their focus on municipalities with deficient plans, particularly regarding pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way.
How does PROWAG differ from the 2010 ADA Standards?
The Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) provide specific standards for streets, sidewalks, and shared-use paths that go beyond the general 2010 ADA Standards. PROWAG includes detailed requirements for pedestrian access routes, curb ramps, crosswalks, and detectable warning surfaces specific to the outdoor public environment.
What does an ADA paver compliance assessment include?
Our assessment includes a complete field inventory of paver surfaces, measurement of slope, cross-slope, width, and trip hazards using calibrated equipment, GPS-mapped deficiency locations, severity categorization, a prioritized remediation schedule, and cost estimates — all formatted for ADA Transition Plan integration.
Can you help with INDOT ADA compliance requirements?
Yes. We are familiar with INDOT's ADA Transition Plan, the Indiana Design Manual (IDM), and the state's Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) process. We can help agencies navigate both federal and Indiana-specific accessibility requirements for paver infrastructure.
