Commission adopts updated annual work plan adding yearly PROWAG review
Loading...
Summary
The Transportation Commission approved minor changes to its July 2025–June 2026 work plan on June 11 that add an annual review of the city’s compliance with PROWAG (Public Right‑of‑Way Accessibility Guidelines) and clarify procedures for circulating agenda changes to commissioners.
The Madison Transportation Commission adopted an updated 2025–26 work plan at its June 11 meeting that includes a new, annual review of the city’s ongoing compliance with PROWAG (Public Right‑of‑Way Accessibility Guidelines).
Why it matters: Commissioners requested more frequent reporting on PROWAG implementation and the city’s ADA transition plan. PROWAG is guidance issued by the United States Access Board that shapes accessibility requirements for public-right-of-way features such as curb ramps and crosswalks; commissioners asked for an annual check-in in addition to the regular three‑year ADA transition review.
What changed and how staff will report
Chair Anne Kovich summarized the edits as “mostly minor” and said staff worked out a reporting format. The revised plan adds language requiring at least an annual update to the commission on city progress toward PROWAG-related improvements and clarifies how staff will circulate agenda materials and late changes.
Commission action
Commissioner Bill Bremer moved to approve the updated work plan; the motion carried by unanimous consent. Commissioners asked staff to include concise summaries of progress on PROWAG implementation in the annual cycle and to highlight any near-term decisions or policy changes that would affect accessibility in the public right-of-way.
Ending
The updated work plan is adopted and will guide the commission’s review schedule; staff committed to providing the annual PROWAG update and to follow-up reports as needed.
