To fail to make alterations necessary in order, to the maximum extent feasible, to
make the altered portions of facilities or stations currently used for the provision
of public transportation services readily accessible to and usable by individuals
with disabilities, including individuals who use wheelchairs. If the private entity
is undertaking an alteration that affects or could affect the usability of or access
to an area of the facility containing a primary function, the entity shall make the
alterations so that, to the maximum extent feasible, the path of travel to the altered
area, and the bathrooms, drinking fountains, and telephones serving the altered area,
are readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities if the alterations
to the path of travel or to the functions mentioned are not disproportionate to the
overall alterations in terms of cost and scope. The entity raising this defense has
the burden of proof, and the department shall review these cases on a case-by-case
basis.

For purposes of subsections 139.40(i)(5), 139.40(i)(6) and 139.40(i)(7) "person" or "class of persons" means clients or customers or prospective clients
or customers of the covered public accommodation.

State or local building codes control where applicable. Violations of state or local
