As the owner of a new or existing parking lot it is critical that you comply with the ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act).
ADA Compliance is about helping those with disabilities retain the ability to receive access equal or similar to the general public in terms of commercial facilities and areas of public accommodation. Failure to comply can result in serious consequences.
Title III of the ADA
In order to achieve ADA Compliance, Title III of the Act has a few stipulations that a parking lot owner must adhere to. For starters, architectural barriers must be removed in facilities that provide goods or services directly to the public and facilities that are being built must follow these guidelines as well. If you’re just starting to plan a new parking lot or other parking structure, then you will want to work with company that has experience with helping business owners reach ADA Compliance. Smaller businesses with four or fewer parking spaces must have at least one accessible spot for those with disabilities, and medium to large businesses have very stringent rules regarding the parking spots for vans and signage to accustom those with disabilities. You can find important information on the Americans With Disabilities Act at http://www.ada.gov/.
Failure to Comply with ADA
The legal ramifications of not gaining ADA Compliance are very steep. The failure to comply with ADA, Title III can actually result in civil law suits and penalties. Those penalties can reach up to $100,000 for each offense. It is not worth it to try to skate by the rules and leave things up to chance.
