ADA Parking Requirements in Kansas & Missouri

Home ADA Parking Requirements

Is Your Parking Lot ADA Compliant?

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, handicap parking, pavement markings, signage, and quantity of spaces. Additionally, states have the ability to add their own requirements to the law.

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.

Our ADA Compliance Process

Our team will check the lot and sidewalks for proper pitch, confirm the markings and signs are correct for your location, and make recommendations to remedy non-compliant areas. Our construction management team can also manage those updates and get your lot in compliance, making it truly reflective of your brand and customer service.

Understand ADA Regulations

We know ADA parking requirements thoroughly so you can rest easy knowing people will be safe on your property and you will avoid potential legal issues due to non-compliance.

Conduct a Site Assessment

We inspect your property to determine which ADA regulations are not currently being met so we can suggest effective solutions.

Implement Regulatory Steps

Being ADA compliant isn’t just about the pavement itself; it’s about the finishing touches. Our team will repaint parking spots, install road signs, handicap parking signs, ADA parking signs, ADA ramps, and more to meet regulations.

FAQs: ADA & Handicap Parking

What are the rules for handicap parking in Missouri?

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.

How many handicap parking spaces are required in Kansas?

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.

Can you be sued for not being ADA compliant?

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.
