{"abstract":"We, the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board), issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) announcing our intent to develop accessibility guidelines for shared used paths. Shared use paths are multi-use paths designed primarily for use by bicyclists and pedestrians, including pedestrians with disabilities, for transportation and recreation purposes. Shared use paths are physically separated from motor vehicle traffic by an open space or barrier, and are either within the highway right-of-way or within an independent right-of-way. We noted in the ANPRM that we are considering including accessibility guidelines for shared use paths in the accessibility guidelines that we are developing for sidewalks and other pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way. We subsequently issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) requesting comments on proposed accessibility guidelines for pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way. The NPRM did not include specific provisions for shared use paths. We are issuing this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to include specific provisions for shared use paths in the proposed accessibility guidelines for pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way. The proposed accessibility guidelines would apply to the design, construction, and alteration of pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way, including shared use paths, covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Architectural Barriers Act, and would ensure that the facilities are readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.","action":"Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ARCHITECTURAL AND TRANSPORTATION BARRIERS COMPLIANCE BOARD","name":"Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board","id":28,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/architectural-and-transportation-barriers-compliance-board","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/28","parent_id":null,"slug":"architectural-and-transportation-barriers-compliance-board"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2013/02/13/2013-03298.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1190,"title":36}],"citation":"78 FR 10110","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2013-05-14","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Submit comments by May 14, 2013.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. ATBCB-2013-0002"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2013-03298","effective_on":null,"end_page":10117,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2013/02/13/2013-03298.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/02/13/2013-03298/accessibility-guidelines-for-pedestrian-facilities-in-the-public-right-of-way-shared-use-paths","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2013-03298?publication_date=2013-02-13","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2013-02-13/2013-03298/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":8,"page_views":{"count":6303,"last_updated":"2026-05-03 10:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-02-13/pdf/2013-03298.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2013-03298.pdf?1360677733","publication_date":"2013-02-13","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2013/02/13/2013-03298.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"3014-AA26":{"issue":"202304","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/3014-AA26/accessibility-guidelines-for-pedestrian-facilities-in-the-public-right-of-way","title":"Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=202304&RIN=3014-AA26&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Other Significant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["3014-AA26"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[],"regulatory_plan":{"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/3014-AA26/accessibility-guidelines-for-pedestrian-facilities-in-the-public-right-of-way","title":"Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way"},"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=ATBCB-2013-0002","supporting_documents_count":0,"docket_id":"ATBCB-2013-0002","regulation_id_number":"3014-AA26","title":"Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way; Shared Use Paths","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2013-05-16T05:00:56Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":true,"signing_date":null,"start_page":10110,"subtype":null,"title":"Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way; Shared Use Paths","toc_doc":"Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in Public Right-of-Way","toc_subject":"Shared Use Paths:","topics":["Buildings and facilities","Civil rights","Individuals with disabilities","Transportation"],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":78}
