scope:

Purpose of this Order.

This Order describes how the FAA acts to ensure that airport sponsors over which the agency has jurisdiction, including those that receive Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants, meet their federal accessibility obligations. The Order provides the policies, standards, and procedures by which to implement the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), as amended, codified at 42 U.S.C. 12101-12213, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) Pub. L. 93-112, as amended, codified at 29 U.S.C. § 794, applicable to the airport grant program. This Order helps ensure standardization and uniformity in the application of these requirements so that travelers with disabilities have access to services, activities and programs that are provided to all travelers at an airport.
