Requesting an Accessible Parking Space

Q: How can I get an accessible parking space installed?

A: On-street parking spaces may be signed and marked with blue curb for use by residents with disabilities who need accessible parking provided within close proximity to their residence. Please note that any on-street accessible parking space is available for any person with a valid disabled placard or license plate. It is not restricted for use by the adjacent property.

Factors taken into consideration when determining if an on-street accessible parking space is appropriate include:

• Availability and condition of off-street parking, such as a relatively flat (non-sloped) driveway and/or garage. Parking off-street is the preferred location for access to a vehicle.
• The condition of the park strip, sidewalk area and street pavement that will be used by a person with a disability accessing a parked vehicle.
• On-street parking demand in the neighborhood.
• Support of the adjacent property owner, if the property is rented.

Possession of a current Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) issued placard or license plate denoting a disability is required, with a registration form that shows the requestor’s name and address.

If you’d like to request a disable parking space for evaluation, please complete and submit a TAC request form with a copy of the DMV issued placard or license plate and registration information.
