The risks
Non-compliant accessible parking can lead to:
- Complaints to the U.S. Department of Justice or the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board
- Private ADA lawsuits and legal fees
- Failed building or occupancy inspections
- Liability if someone is injured
The most common problems
Missing van-accessible spaces, faded access aisles, missing signs, and spaces too far from the entrance top the list.
How to fix it
Count your spaces, compare against the ADA table, restripe accessible stalls and aisles, and confirm signs are at the right height. Most fixes take one visit.
Frequently asked questions
Is restriping enough to become compliant?
Often it fixes markings, but slopes, curb ramps and routes may also need attention.
Do older lots get a pass?
Existing businesses are expected to remove barriers when readily achievable. Restriping is almost always considered readily achievable.
Can you audit my lot?
We review stall counts, aisle widths and signage as part of every accessible striping quote.
