ADA Parking Requirements Services in Kansas City
Does Your Parking Lot Meet ADA Parking Compliance?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)—which was created in 1990 and updated in 2010—prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public.
This federal law has very specific requirements to ensure accommodations are met for sidewalks, parking space markings, signage, and quantity of spaces. Additionally, states have the ability to add their own requirements to the law; this usually comes in the form of signage and pavement markings.
Kansas Asphalt’s construction management team understands these regulations and will provide a thorough review of your lot and all related spaces associated with meeting ADA requirements. We can identify which local and federal regulations aren’t being met and create a plan to make these spaces compliant.

ADA Parking Requirements FAQs
To use an accessible parking space, you must display a valid Missouri State parking permit—either permanent or temporary—or pay the meter and display a state-issued disability placard or license plate. Motorcycles are not permitted to park in the blue-striped access zones adjacent to handicap spaces.
Kansas follows the ADA Standards for Accessible Design. For 1–25 total spaces, at least 1 must be accessible. The number increases with lot size – up to 20 spaces plus 1 for every 100 over 1,000. At least one in every six accessible spaces must be van-accessible. Medical facilities have higher requirements: 10% for outpatient and 20% for mobility treatment centers.
Yes, that’s a common misconception about ADA compliance. In reality, the ADA requires organizations to ensure their websites are accessible to individuals with disabilities. If your site isn’t accessible, you could be at risk of legal consequences.
