ADA Compliance FAQs
ADA requires a minimum of one accessible space per 25 total spaces. Each space must be at least 96 inches wide with an adjacent 60-inch access aisle. Proper signage with the International Symbol of Accessibility at 60 inches minimum height is mandatory.
The number depends on total parking spaces: 1-25 total spaces = 1 accessible space, 26-50 = 2 accessible spaces, 51-75 = 3 accessible spaces, 76-100 = 4 accessible spaces, 101-150 = 5 accessible spaces, 151-200 = 6 accessible spaces, plus 1 additional for every 100 over 200.
Van accessible spaces require a 96-inch wide parking space plus a 96-inch access aisle (vs. 60-inch for standard). They also need vertical clearance of 98 inches minimum and 'Van Accessible' signs. One of every six accessible spaces must be van accessible.
Yes, ADA requires accessible spaces to be located on the shortest accessible route to the accessible entrance. If multiple entrances serve different areas, accessible spaces should be dispersed to serve each entrance.
The ADA doesn't specify colors, but the International Symbol of Accessibility must be blue on white. Most jurisdictions require blue lines for the parking space boundary and access aisle. We ensure compliance with all local color requirements.
We recommend annual inspection and refreshing as needed. Faded or worn markings can lead to non-compliance. High-traffic areas may need more frequent maintenance. We offer maintenance contracts to keep your property compliant year-round.
