    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9846
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) announced it will delay enforcement of new rules regarding accessibility standards for pedestrian facilities until March 20, 2025. This decision follows a presidential memorandum suggesting a review of recently published rules for consistency with current law and policies. The rule in question, related to the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board's standards, became officially effective on January 17, 2025. The delay is meant to allow time for the new administration to properly examine these standards.

They are taking their time to make sure the rules are fair and good for everyone.
