From the FHWA Accessibility Resource Library:

Each office in the Federal Highway Administration is responsible for maintaining accessibility information as it relates to its own program. This page supports the effort to organize and make available all information that relates to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or other accessibility resources that may affect research, planning, design, construction, or operations of any Federal Highway Administration project.

Although this is meant to be an all-inclusive list of FHWA ADA resources, we may have missed some unique office specific document or link. If you know of a resource that should be included on this page, please contact the content owner of this site listed at the bottom of the page.
