Write Up:

MoDOT owns and maintains 49 truck parking, rest area and welcome center facilities, with 19 being rest areas and welcome centers. MoDOT has identified 12 rest areas in need of improvements to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Sidewalk improvements are required for these 12 rest areas to be ADA compliant.  

MoDOT's maintenance and office facilities are ADA compliant. All new facilities are designed and constructed to be ADA compliant. This year, construction on six Rest Area Renovations will begin that will include ADA upgrades. I-55 Bloomsdale Rest Area Northbound, and I-29 Dearborn Rest Area Northbound and I-55 Fruitland Rest Area Southbound are scheduled to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2025.                                                            

Purpose of the Measure:

This measure tracks and identifies how many MoDOT facilities need improvements to be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Measurement and Data Collection:

Truck parking, rest area and welcome center inspections are performed by MoDOT staff on a quarterly basis at a minimum. Inspections of these facilities provide the compliance data. The target for this measure is for all facilities to be in compliance with ADA.
