For parking spaces, what is the ratio for ADA requirements for facilities with more than 500 total spaces?

When addressing parking space requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), it's important to know the specific ratios applied based on total parking capacity. For facilities that have more than 500 total parking spaces, the correct ratio for accessible parking spaces is indeed one accessible space for every 25 regular spaces.

This means that if a facility has, for example, 520 parking spots, it must provide 21 accessible spaces (which is calculated as 520 divided by 25). The intention of this ratio is to ensure that accessible parking accommodations are sufficient for the expected number of vehicles, giving individuals with disabilities equitable access to the facilities.

Other ratios provided in the options are not applicable to facilities with more than 500 total spaces. For instance, the ratios for smaller facilities have varying requirements, but specifically for large facilities, one accessible space for every 25 spaces is necessary to comply with ADA guidelines. This ensures that as the number of parking spaces increases, the proportion of accessible spaces also increases, promoting inclusivity and accessibility for all users of the space.
