This bill establishes a comprehensive program aimed at ensuring all pedestrian crossings in Minnesota comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by December 31, 2035. It mandates the Commissioner of Transportation to create an inventory of pedestrian crossing points, categorize their compliance status, and work with local entities to inspect crossings that require attention. The bill also outlines a grant process for eligible recipients, prioritizing those with smaller populations and higher needs, to facilitate inspections and modifications of noncompliant crossings. Additionally, it requires the maintenance of a public database tracking compliance status and mandates annual reporting to legislative committees on the program's progress.

To support the implementation of this program, the bill includes appropriations from the general fund and bond proceeds for grants aimed at improving pedestrian crossings. It specifies that funds can be used for regional master contracts and grants to eligible recipients, with provisions for reducing costs for smaller municipalities. The bill emphasizes the importance of workforce planning and adherence to prevailing wage laws for contractors involved in the project, ensuring that the work is performed efficiently and equitably across the state.
