If you were not able to attend the recent public input session about the WisDOT corridor studies for Highways 53 and 14/61, you can still provide input. Are there accommodations like pullouts at or safe crossing near bus stops?

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) invites the public to review and share comments on the agency’s 2025 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan to help its efforts to continually improve accessibility throughout the state highway system including roadside facilities, navigability within public rights of way and public input processes. Per federal law, the transition plan is regularly maintained with opportunities for public input. As suggested by Wisconsin Transit Riders Alliance secretary, Susan DeVos, should accessible bathrooms at transit centers or seating at bus stops be required? What other accommodations should be considered? Please provide feedback by August 31 using this online form: https://tinyurl.com/wisdotadasurvey
