SIGNED!! AB462 Tran Access Review DSA to DOT - CDR OPPOSES!

[chaptered] This bill had last minute changes to require a Certified Access training for engineers 180 days after the CASP becomes effective.
Moves the requirement to approve contracts in re: disability access from DSA to DOT. There was voiced concern that Caltrans, in the past, has not appropriately provided oversight to compliance with state and federal access laws.
There is insufficient evidence that the "certified access specialist" program, when fully functional, would provide adequate oversight to an agency such as Caltrans, which has repeatedly over the many years, lacked the ability or the will or both, to comply with both Federal and State Access Code Requirements.

CDR OPPOSES and continues to oppose
