    Answer: 34 inches

    ADA Standards §904.4 requires at least one accessible portion of a sales counter to be no higher than 34 inches above the finished floor.

  2. An existing restaurant wants to add a new accessible restroom but claims the cost would be disproportionate. Under ADA Title III, what threshold defines disproportionate cost for barrier removal?

    Answer: More than 20% of the cost of the alteration triggering the requirement

    Under 28 CFR §36.403(f), path-of-travel improvements are disproportionate if they exceed 20% of the cost of the alteration that triggered accessibility requirements.

  3. A museum installs a new exhibit with tactile displays at 54 inches above the floor. A consultant reviews this and notes a problem. What is the maximum height for a forward-reach to an operable element?

    Answer: 48 inches

    Per ADA Standards §308.2.1, the maximum high forward reach is 48 inches above the finished floor.

  4. A consultant is assessing a historic building undergoing renovation. The main entrance has 6 steps and no ramp. The owner argues that installing a ramp would destroy historic character. What is the best alternative access solution?

    Answer: Provide an equally accessible entrance at another location with equivalent services

    When ramp installation would threaten a historic property's character-defining features, an accessible alternate entrance providing equal access is the preferred alternative per ADA Standards §202.5.

  5. A hotel guest room designated as accessible has a bathtub with a built-in seat at one end. The consultant checks the clear floor space. What is the minimum required clear floor space at a bathtub with a permanent seat?

  6. During a field assessment, a consultant measures the running slope of an accessible route at 6.5%. The path connects a parking area to a building entrance over 60 feet. What is the correct finding?

    Answer: The path qualifies as a ramp and requires handrails and edge protection

    Any accessible route with a running slope exceeding 5% is classified as a ramp under ADA Standards §402.2 and must comply with ramp requirements including handrails.

  7. A school district is conducting a self-evaluation under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Which outcome is required from the self-evaluation process?
