ETA Editor's Note

The ADA requirements included at Section 11B-228 are provided for information only. The CBC scoping requirements are more inclusive.  The electric vehicle charging station scoping requirements are new to CBC, as of 2016, complemented by new definitions in Section 202 and technical requirements in Section 11B-812.  DSA-AC has not yet issued any advisories pertaining to them.  EVCS are not addressed by 2010 ADAS, although a case could be made, based on the general obligation for governments to make their services, programs or activities available to individuals with disabilities [ADA Title II, §35.130], and for public accommodations and commercial facilities to make their goods, services, facilities, etc. available [ADA Title III, §36.201(a)], that, if EVCS are made available to the public by any of these enties, they must be made available to individuals with disabilities.  However, the absence of scoping or technical requirements in the Standards would make it difficult to conclude what that means.
