The Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) and the Rehabilitation Act apply to buildings funded by the federal government. Learn about the history and coverage of the ABA. Standards issued underthe ABA provide minimum requirements for facilities or buildings newly leased by federal agencies. These provisions address accessible routes, parking, toilet and bathing facilities, sales and service counters, joint use areas, fire alarms, and other elements and spaces. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions following the presentation.
