Installing a ramp at the entrance to a building or on the side of a cab is a one time fixed cost. I'm not saying I disagree but I am curious, are these examples of regulations requiring businesses take on significant ongoing costs in order to provide for groups that may otherwise be marginalized?

Examples that spring to mind:

* Businesses required to have someone on staff at all times who can communicate via sign language.

* Daycare companies required to have staff capable of caring for children with physical, sensory or mental disability.
