Welcome to the Disabled Access Committee

The Disabled Access Committee is to promote consistent application of Accessibility requirements by updating the Disabled Access Review/Correction Lists, CASp Training, reviewing and responding to proposed changes to state disabled access regulations and on some occasions, DAS will be the sponsor of proposed changes to the regulations. 

Committee members have also kept up to date on all the Code Changes or Amendments. The Committee has become a forum to discuss with other Jurisdictions and CASp members to reach a consensus on Disabled Access issues of concern that come up during plan review or inspection of construction projects and other tasks that are deemed necessary by the Committee. Committee business is conducted through teleconferences and in person. 

Committee Goals 

1. Promote consistent application of accessibility requirements.
