This document is a U.S. Access Board Technical Guide focused on Parking Spaces, providing comprehensive accessibility guidelines for parking facilities. The guide details requirements for the minimum number, location, and technical specifications of accessible parking spaces, including standard and van-accessible spaces. Key provisions include calculating accessible parking spaces separately for each parking facility, ensuring at least one accessible space for every 6 total spaces, dispersing spaces among accessible entrances, and providing specific dimensional requirements for vehicle spaces, access aisles, and vertical clearance.

The guide covers accessibility standards for various types of facilities, including hospitals, outpatient centers, rehabilitation facilities, residential complexes, and sites with valet parking or electric vehicle charging stations. Technical requirements address surface conditions, markings, signage, and access routes. Notable recommendations include providing wider spaces for van accessibility, positioning access aisles to accommodate wheelchair ramps and lifts, and ensuring that accessible parking spaces are located on the shortest accessible route to facility entrances. The document also provides guidance on exceptions, such as temporary parking lots and gravel surfaces, and answers common questions about implementing these accessibility standards.
