U.S. Access Board A Summary of Accessibility Guidelines for Play Areas Page 31 Transfer Supports Transfer supports must be provided on transfer platforms and transfer steps at each level where transferring is the intended method of access. Materials in a variety of different shapes and sizes are used to manufacture transfer supports including metal, plastic, and rope. Aesthetically pleasing cut-out shapes and other design enhancements can provide hand supports for transferring. Consideration must be given to the distance between the transfer system and the elevated play components it is intended to facilitate. Designers should minimize the distance between the point where a child transfers from a wheelchair or mobility device and the elevated play destination. This transfer system provides access to exciting elevated play experiences like sliding while minimizing the distance individuals must traverse. A means of support is required when transferring into the entry or seat of a play component. Transfer supports assist individuals with transferring and general mobility. They include handrails, handgrips, or custom designed handholds. 52 53 54 55 what are the requirements for accessible routes?
