移动设备政策
NIACC应允许行动不便的个人在任何对行人开放的区域使用轮椅和手动行动辅助设备,如助行器、拐杖、手杖、支架或其他为行动不便的个人设计的类似设备。
Definition of a Wheelchair – a manually-operated or power-driven device designed primarily for use by an individual with a mobility disability for the main purpose of both indoor and outdoor locomotion.
NIACC shall make reasonable modifications in its policies, practices, or procedures to permit the use of “other power-driven mobility devices” by individuals with mobility disabilities, unless NIACC can demonstrate that the class of other power-driven mobility devices cannot be operated in accordance with legitimate safety requirements that NIACC has adopted.
Definition of an Other Power-Driven Mobility Device (OPDMD) – Any mobility device powered by batteries, fuel, or other engines – whether or not designed primarily for use by individuals with mobility disabilities – that is used by individuals with mobility disabilities for the purpose of locomotion, including golf cars, electronic personal assistance mobility devices (EPAMDs), such as the Segway PT, or any mobility device designed to operate in areas without defined pedestrian routes, 但这不是本节所指的轮椅。
在确定是否允许在特定设施中使用特定的其他动力驱动移动装置作为合理的修改时,NIACC应考虑:
- 设备的类型、尺寸、重量、尺寸和速度。
- NIACC’s volume of pedestrian traffic, which may vary at different times of the day, week, month, or year.
- NIACC’s design and operational characteristics (e.g., whether its service, program, or activity is conducted indoors, its square footage, the density and placement of stationary devices, and the availability of storage for the device, if requested by the user.
- 是否可以建立合法的安全要求,以允许特定设施中其他动力驱动移动设备的安全运行。
- 使用其他动力驱动的移动设备是否对直接环境或自然或文化资源造成严重危害的重大风险,或与联邦土地管理法律法规相冲突。
NIACC personnel shall not ask an individual using a wheelchair or other power-driven mobility device questions about the nature and extent of the individual’s disability, but may ask a person using a power-driven mobility device to provide a credible assurance that the mobility device is required because of the person’s disability.
If use of the other power-driven mobility device is permitted, NIACC shall accept the presentation of a valid, State-issued, disability parking placard or card, or other State-issued proof of disability as a credible assurance that the use of the other power-driven mobility device is required because of the individual’s mobility disability. 如果没有卡可用,NIACC应接受一个可信的口头保证,不与可观察到的事实相矛盾,即其他动力驱动的移动设备正在用于行动障碍。
