ADA Parking Lot Striping in Fairfield County
Accessible parking is a legal requirement, and getting it right protects your business. 1-800-STRIPER of Fairfield County stripes ADA-compliant accessible spaces, van-accessible stalls, access aisles, the International Symbol of Accessibility, and required signage on commercial lots across southwestern Connecticut — bringing new and existing lots into line with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design and the Connecticut State Building Code.
Accessible parking is governed at three layers in Connecticut, and we mark to all of them: the federal 2010 ADA Standards, the Connecticut State Building Code (which adopts the ICC A117.1 accessibility standard), and Connecticut General Statutes § 14-253a, which sets the state’s accessible-parking signage and enforcement rules. Compliant spaces aren’t optional — they’re what keeps your property out of complaint and inspection trouble.
ADA Requirements
The 2010 ADA Standards set how many accessible spaces a lot needs and how each one is built:
| Total spaces in lot | Minimum accessible spaces |
|---|---|
| 1–25 | 1 |
| 26–50 | 2 |
| 51–75 | 3 |
| 76–100 | 4 |
| 101–150 | 5 |
| 151–200 | 6 |
| 201–300 | 7 |
| 301–400 | 8 |
At least one in every six accessible spaces must be van-accessible (ADA §208.2 / §502). Each accessible stall is 8 feet wide with a 5-foot access aisle; van-accessible stalls are 11 feet wide with a 5-foot aisle (or 8 feet wide with an 8-foot aisle). Access aisles must be marked, the accessible route can’t exceed a 1:48 (2%) slope, and each space needs the International Symbol of Accessibility plus a sign mounted so it stays visible. Connecticut General Statutes § 14-253a additionally requires accessible-space signs to carry white lettering on a blue background, the wording that a permit is required, and the International Symbol of Access, mounted above grade.
Our ADA Striping Process
- Assess and count. We measure your lot, total the spaces, and calculate the required number of accessible and van-accessible stalls.
- Locate. We place accessible spaces on the shortest accessible route to the entrance, as the standards require.
- Lay out. We mark stalls, access aisles, and the slope-sensitive route to ADA dimensions.
- Stripe and symbolize. We paint the stalls, access-aisle hatching, and the International Symbol of Accessibility in the correct colors.
- Sign. We install or confirm the required above-grade signage to ADA and Connecticut § 14-253a requirements.
Whether you’re building new, expanding, or fixing a lot that’s fallen out of compliance, we bring the accessible parking up to standard. 1-800-STRIPER of Fairfield County holds a five-star Google rating from 9+ local customers; call (203) 501-3838 for a free estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions About ADA Parking Lot Striping in Fairfield County, CT
How many ADA parking spaces does my lot need in Connecticut?
The 2010 ADA Standards set the count on a sliding scale — one accessible space for 1–25 total spaces, two for 26–50, three for 51–75, four for 76–100, and up from there. Connecticut applies that federal framework through its state building code. At least one in every six accessible spaces must be van-accessible. We calculate the exact requirement for your lot’s total.
How wide is an ADA accessible parking space?
A standard accessible stall is 8 feet wide with an adjacent 5-foot access aisle. A van-accessible stall is 11 feet wide with a 5-foot aisle, or 8 feet wide with an 8-foot aisle. The access aisle has to be marked and level — the accessible route can’t exceed a 1:48 (2%) slope. We stripe each space and aisle to these ADA §502 dimensions.
What signage do ADA spaces require in Connecticut?
Each accessible space needs the International Symbol of Accessibility and a sign mounted high enough to stay visible. On top of the federal requirement, Connecticut General Statutes § 14-253a requires the sign to carry white lettering on a blue background, the wording that a parking permit is required, and the International Symbol of Access, mounted above grade. We install or confirm signage to both the ADA and the Connecticut requirements.
What is a van-accessible space and do I need one?
A van-accessible space is a wider accessible stall — 11 feet wide with a 5-foot aisle, or 8 feet wide with an 8-foot aisle — that gives room for a van’s side ramp or lift. Under the ADA, at least one of every six accessible spaces must be van-accessible, and any lot with accessible parking needs at least one. We make sure your count and your van spaces both meet the standard.
My lot’s accessible spaces have faded — is it still compliant?
Faded markings put your compliance at risk. If the symbol, access-aisle hatching, or signage isn’t clearly visible, the space may no longer meet the ADA or Connecticut requirements, and that’s exactly what draws complaints. We restripe faded accessible spaces — symbols, aisles, and stall lines — and confirm the count, dimensions, and signage are current while we’re there.
Can you bring an older lot up to current ADA standards?
Yes. Older lots often fall short on the number of accessible spaces, stall or aisle width, slope, or signage. We assess the lot against the 2010 ADA Standards and the Connecticut State Building Code, then re-stripe and re-sign it to bring the accessible parking into compliance — correcting counts, widening aisles, refreshing symbols, and updating signage as needed.
