Shuttles among terminals and parking lots, connector systems among the airport and a limited number of other local destinations must acquire accessible vehicles but are not subject to complementary paratransit requirements. Fixed route or demand responsive rules apply, depending on the characteristics of the system involved. This service is subject to all the other entity requirements of the rule. A rapid rail system is a subway-type transit vehicle railway operated on exclusive private rights of way with high level platform stations. Rapid rail may also operate on elevated or at grade level track separated from other traffic.
Rapid rail is distinguished from inter-city or commuter rail systems.
The requirements of Part 37 do not apply to elementary and secondary education systems operated by public entities or private entities receiving federal funding. Rather, they are subject to the nondiscrimination rules under titles II and III of the ADA as applicable. Other conveyances may fit into this category. The table below shows non rail vehicle acquisition requirements for private, primarily engaged, private not primarily engaged, and public transportation providers. The requirements for accessibility features differ with the type of vehicle.
