Handicap / ADA Compliance

Inaccessible Parking Lots

Parking lots that do not follow ADA compliance regulations can cause a number of headaches for their owners. One of the most important repercussions of not having an accessible parking lot is that you can find yourself facing heavy legal fines. For example, in Georgia, the owner of a parking lot that doesn’t follow handicap parking requirements can find themselves facing fines of up to $75,000 for their first violation and $150,000 for any additional violations.

Additional problems that inaccessible parking lots can cause are that there’s no accessible way for your handicap customers to go from the parking lot into your building, causing you to lose out on valuable business. Your handicap customers may also face physical risks if your parking lot is not compliant. All of this works to not only cause you to lose out on profit but to also have a poor reputation among potential customers.

Benefits of Following ADA Parking Requirements

Just as not following ADA parking lot regulations can cause your business problems, properly following these rules have a number of benefits. One benefit that will be the most important to many customers is that you don’t have to worry about hefty legal fees if your parking lot follows handicap parking requirements. This means you can relax, knowing that you won’t lose thousands of dollars for something that you could have easily fixed.

Following ADA compliance regulations for parking lots also ensures that all of your customers, whether they are disabled or not, can easily access your business, meaning you won’t lose out on any clients because they are having too much difficulty accessing your building. You’ll also be ensuring that all of your customers are safe and comfortable.
