This two-day course was designed to ensure that pedestrian facilities and access routes are properly constructed and maintained for individuals of all abilities. This course also focuses on proper design and maintenance of pedestrian access routes in new construction or when existing facilities are altered. Participants are engaged through a power point presentation, discussion, video demonstrations, small group problem identification, and features a hands-on out-door wheelchair, low-vision goggles, white cane exercise. This training was developed to provide information for those involved in the design and maintenance of pedestrian facilities, and for those individuals that ensure the proper adherence to all applicable laws and guidelines.
