Title: Accessibility Guidelines for Shared Use Paths

Abstract: This regulation will establish accessibility guidelines for shared use paths to ensure that they are accessible to and

usable by individuals with disabilities. The guidelines will include a definition of shared use paths, which are typically designed

for bicyclists and pedestrians and are used for recreation and transportation purposes. The guidelines are expected to be

adopted as enforceable standards in separate rulemakings by the Department of Justice and the Department of Transportation

for public and private entities subject to the American with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which

prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability. The General Services Administration, Department of Defense, and Department

of Housing and Urban Development are also expected to adopt the guidelines as enforceable standards for facilities constructed

or altered with federal funds that are subject to the Architectural Barriers Act.
