City of Rensselaer
ADA Self Analysis and Transition Plan

The purpose of this ADA Self-Analysis and Transition Plan is to ensure that the City of
Rensselaer pedestrian infrastructure in the public right-of-way is accessible for everyone,
including people with disabilities. Federal standards for pedestrian facilities in the public
right of way proposed in 2011 were finalized and became effective in September 2023, and will be enforceable once adopted by the US Departments of Justice and Transportation. The City has made a significant and long-term commitment to improving the accessibility of pedestrian facilities in the public-right-of-way.

Rensselaer has identified and evaluated all pedestrian infrastructure in the public right-of-way including curb ramps, sidewalks, crosswalks, pedestrian signals, and pedestrian
accessible transit stops.
