IS YOUR PARKING ACCESSIBLE?

摘要

ADA accommodations aren't only for inside your building, they apply to all entrance and parking areas as well. By easing accessibility, these provisions minimize potential hazards for occupants with disabilities. The measures keep safety at the forefront of lots and garages and most can be accomplished with simple paint and signage. See which ones you may need to add. For every 25 spots your lot or garage has, one should be reserved for accessible parking (see table below). Certain types of medical facilities, however, need more accessible parking based on their clientele. For example, hospital outpatient facilities need 10% of patient/visitor spaces to be accessible. Rehabilitation facilities that specialize in treating mobility-related conditions and outpatient physical therapy facilities need 20% of spaces to be accessible.
