SUMMARY OF BARRIERS TO ACCESS – CURB RAMPS •4,260 curb ramps were assessed. •902 (21.17%) curb ramps were nearly compliant or compliant . •891 (20.91%) curb ramps had running slopes greater than the maximum allowed of 8.33%. •1,184 (27.79%) curb ramps had cross slopes greater than the maximum allowed of 2.08%. •244 (5.73%) curb ramps had clear width less than the minimum of 48”. •1,648 (38.69%) curb ramps had top landing slopes exceeding the maximum of 2.08%. •1,075 (25.23%) curb ramps were missing detectable warnings. •479 instances where curb ramps were not provided where they were required. 11.6 PROW - Bus Stops Barrier Removal Summary Based on the onsite review, Bureau Veritas found that barriers to accessibility exist within the City’s bus stop inventory. The observed elements were analyzed using the Access Board’s proposed Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) and California Building Code (CBC). The following table summarizes the bus stop barriers that were identified including remediation method. 040 Ramps Attachment - City of Chino ADA Transition Plan ADA TITLE II SELF-EVALUATION AND TRANSITION PLAN CITY OF CHINO BUREAU VERITAS PROJECT: 160001.23R000-FNL.206 www.bureauveritas.com | p 800.733.0660 Priority 2: Elements used for programs, services, and activities- Barriers may include play equipment, picnic tables, public counters, benches, and trash receptacles. Priority 3: Restrooms, Signage - Barriers may include widening of toilet stalls, installation of grab bars, and lowering lavatories and mirrors. Priority 4: Access to Auxiliary Features and Amenities – A public agency is required to take measures to provide access to auxiliary features and amenities along paths of travel, for instance, kiosks, water fountains, and kitchen appliances. Priority 5: Employee-only Areas- Employee-only areas are required to have accessible entrances and exits, and accessible paths of travel within interior work areas and workstations. Corridors in employee-only areas, employee-only restrooms, employee-only kitchens and employee-only break rooms are considered public areas (rather than employee-only areas) under the ADA, and therefore, are required to fully comply with accessibility regulations governing those types of areas. Employee areas have been set as the lowest priority, due to the fact that the total estimated cost for barrier removal in public areas is the more pressing need. Some of the existing accessibility barriers require a minimal amount of effort or expense to remove and are found throughout the system. These types of barrier removals are called “Low Hanging Fruit,” or easy barrier removal. “Low hanging fruit” is defined as accessibility barrier removal which can be incorporated into recurring work being completed on a life cycle basis, and which is relatively low in cost. 9.2 City PROW Barrier Phasing The City of Chino has adopted a 20-year plan to complete barrier remediation for pedestrian facilities within the public right-of-way (PROW). Barrier remediation has been prioritized into three phases based on the severity and location of the barriers. To provide a method to determine the severity, a sidewalk Route Accessibility Index (RAI) score and a curb ramp score was created and assigned to each sidewalk section and curb ramp. Phasing for barrier removal in the PROW was prioritized using the RAI value and curb ramp score. The estimated fiscal years to remove barriers to accessibility in each phase are summarized below. •Phase 1 – Fiscal Years 2024 – 2028 •Phase 2 – Fiscal Years 2028 – 2035 •Phase 3 - Fiscal Years 2035 – 2044 The sidewalk RAI scores range from 0 to 100 and are a weighted scale of the vertical level changes, smoothness of the surface, running and cross slopes. A sidewalk section with a score of 0 to 40 is considered inadequate with multiple barriers to access and a score of 90 - 100 is considered great to good with zero to little barriers to access. For example, a sidewalk section with an RAI of 0 - 40 may be identified with vertical changes in level, excessive cross slopes, and a rough surface with multiple cracks. The purpose of the RAI is to provide a weighted usability average to each segment of sidewalk. The RAI can be adjusted based on City of Chino’s needs. The current weights are set at 40% level changes, 15% roughness, 40% cross slope, and 5% running slopes. Similarly, the curb ramp score is a weighted calculation of the various measured attributes including cross slopes, running slopes, flare slopes, landing slopes, clear width, obstructions, and the presence of detectible warnings. It is intended only to provide a general usability rating (0 – 4 being missing / poor, and 10 being fully or nearly fully compliant), and can be adjusted based on the City of Chino’s needs. 030 Attachment - City of Chino ADA Transition Plan T A B L ETABLE O FOF C O N T E N T SCONTENTS C I T Y O F C H I N O SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS PROJECT ESTIMATE Item Description Unit Quantity Unit Cost Total 1 Topographic Survey for Design LS 1 15,000.00$ 15,000.00$ 2 Design (Civil & Traffic)LS 1 50,000.00$ 50,000.00$ 65,000.00$ Benson Avenue Safe Routes to School Improvements from Chino Avenue to Riverside Drive Pre-Construction Pre-Construction Subtotal T A B L ETABLE O FOF C O N T E N T SCONTENTS C I T Y O F C H I N O SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS PROJECT ESTIMATE SUPPORTING DOCUMENT ADDITIONAL COLLISION DATA FROM CITY OF CHINO RECORD N 1/27/23DUI 6/5/24Sigs/Signs 3/7/23Unknown 7/7/25Unknown 2/11/25Auto R/W 7/18/24Unsf Spd6/20/23Sigs/Signs 8/17/24Unknown 6/27/24Sigs/Signs Number of Collisions Legend Moving Vehicle Stopped Vehicle Backing Vehicle Movement Unknown Right Turn Left Turn Bicycle Pedestrian Injury Fatal Fixed Object DUI Date Prepared:7/30/2025 Horizontal Street: CHINO AVE Vertical Street: BENSON AVE From:1/1/2020 To:12/31/2025 Collision Diagram Property Damage Only4 Injury Collisions5 Fatal Collisions0 Total Collisions9 Ran Off Road Sideswipe Day Night Color Legend - Highest Degree of Injury Maroon = Fatal Purple = Severe Injury Teal = Complaint of Pain Dark Blue = Property Damage Only Green = Other Visible Injury
