    ABA-Ramp-Checklist.pdf
    The ADA-Compliant Ramp Checklist outlines essential criteria for constructing ramps that meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. The checklist covers various aspects, including the maximum slope of 1:12, which mandates that for every inch of vertical rise, the ramp must extend at least 12 inches horizontally. The total ramp length is determined by the height difference from the ground to the door, ensuring compliance with the slope ratio. Specific guidelines indicate that for every additional 30 feet of ramp, a resting platform is required, and platforms should measure a minimum of 60 inches by 60 inches. Handrails must be at least 24 inches longer than the ramp, with a minimum clearance of 36 inches between them. Safety features such as balusters, spaced no more than 4 inches apart, and a guardrail of at least 42 inches in height are also mandated. The checklist emphasizes the importance of both safety and accessibility in ramp construction, serving as a comprehensive tool for contractors and local governments in ensuring compliance with federal standards. This document is pivotal for federal and state RFPs involving construction or renovation projects necessitating ADA compliance.
