The USA ABA, Architectural Barriers Act, was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson in 1968 and focuses on the the accessibility of buildings and facilities–removing barriers to create more access for those who are physically challenged. The ABA governs that access be made at buildings and facilities that have been designed, built, altered, or leased with Federal funds.
This is a simplified version of the ABA Law that outlines the accessible modifications required for parks and outdoor recreation. For a complete version, please visit access-board.gov.
