If your business has parking for the public, it must have disabled-accessible parking spaces, if doing so is “readily achievable,” according to the ADA. The number of disabled parking spaces the ADA requires depends on the number of parking spaces in your parking lot or garage.

The parking spaces must be 8 feet wide. The parking spaces must have space for the vehicle plus space to the right or left that serves as an access aisle. The aisle allows a person using a wheelchair, electric scooter or other device to get out of a car or van. For cars, the access aisle must be at least 5 feet wide and be as long as the parking space itself.
