One of six (or fraction of six) accessible parking spaces, but always at least one, must be van accessible. The required number of accessible parking spaces must be calculated separately for each parking facility, not calculated based on the total number of parking spaces provided on a site. One of six accessible parking spaces, but always at least one, must be van-accessible.

This compliance brief provides information about the features of accessible car and van parking spaces and how many accessible spaces are required when parking facilities are restriped. State and local government facilities also have an ongoing ADA obligation to make their programs accessible, which can require providing accessible parking. Because restriping is relatively inexpensive, it is readily achievable in most cases. In addition, businesses or privately owned facilities that provide goods or services to the public have a continuing ADA obligation to remove barriers to access in existing parking facilities when it is readily achievable to do so.

When a business or State or local government restripes parking spaces in a parking lot or parking structure (parking facilities), it must provide accessible parking spaces as required by the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (2010 Standards).
