Further Action Needed to Make All Public Buildings Accessible to the Physically Handicapped

Abstract

Enactment of the Architectural Barriers Actin 1968 was a step toward making sure that public buildings are accessible to the physically handicapped. A basic problem is that implementing action is discretionary with the agencies. GAOs main concern relates to section 1 of the act which defines the term "building." This report recommends additional legislation by the Congress and further action by Federal agencies to correct shortcomings uncovered by GAO's review.
