Parking Areas

Getting there is only part of the challenge.

Parking lots and garages are the first and last places encountered by people with disabilities when they visit a public facility. BlueDAG’s inspection software provides for fast and accurate assessment of parking accessibility.

A thorough evaluation is the first step toward compliance.

In recent years, there has been an increased focus on the accessibility and ADA compliance of parking lots and parking structures. These are often the first and last places people with disabilities encounter when visiting a business or public facility, so they play a primary role in accessibility.

Inspecting parking lots for ADA compliance presents numerous challenges to accessibility consultants. Determining slope can be difficult due to variances caused by settling paving and natural deviations. Access aisles must be vetted for irregularities or potential obstructions. The number of accessible parking spaces required by the ADA varies depending on the size of the parking lot, and the dimensions and placement of those spaces can be critically important.

If parking fails to meet all of the applicable requirements, accessibility can be compromised, denying access to persons with disabilities. An accurate and thorough assessment is the first step toward compliance.
