| This report provides recommendations for new guidelines to be developed by the Access Board for passenger vessels, including those used primarily for transportation, such as ferries, and those used for recreation or other purposes, such as gaming boats, cruise ships, and sightseeing boats. Submitted to the Board in 2000 by an advisory committee it had chartered, these recommendations address access for newly constructed and altered passenger vessels covered by the ADA. The Passenger Vessel Access Advisory Committee was composed of 21 members who represent owners and operators of various passenger vessels, designers of passenger vessels, organizations representing individuals with disabilities, among others.
