Architectural Barrier Act
The Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) requires that buildings
and facilities that are designed, constructed, or altered with
Federal funds, or leased by a Federal agency, comply with Federal
standards for physical accessibility. ABA requirements are limited
to architectural standards in new and altered buildings and in
newly leased facilities. They do not address the activities
conducted in those buildings and facilities. Facilities of the U.S.
Postal Service are covered by the ABA. For more information or
