FHWA Designing Pedestrian Facilities for Accessibility Training

for Hawaii / Pacific Territories

July 11 – 15, 2022

11:00 AM – 2:00 PM Hawaii Standard Time

Free Virtual Training course

________________________________________________________________________

This course was designed to ensure that pedestrian facilities and access routes are properly constructed and maintained for individuals of all abilities. This course also focuses on proper design and maintenance of pedestrian access routes in new construction or when existing facilities are altered. Participants are engaged through a power point presentation, discussion, video demonstrations, small group activities, and includes presentations and discussion with individuals representative of various sects of the disability community, who will provide engagement opportunities promoting accessibility. This training was developed to provide information for those involved in the design and maintenance of pedestrian facilities, and for those individuals that ensure the proper adherence to all applicable laws and guidelines.

If you need an auxiliary aid/service or other accommodation due to a disability, contact Curtis Motoyama at 808-831-7931 or curtis.s.motoyama@hawaii.gov as soon as possible. Requests made as early as possible will allow adequate time to fulfill your request. Upon request, this notice is available in alternate formats such as large print or Braille.
