ADA Compliance
ADA compliance isn't just about avoiding fines — it's about making sure everyone who visits your property can actually get in the door. Trinity Striping brings parking lots into compliance with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design and Florida accessibility code: correct number of accessible stalls, properly striped access aisles, van-accessible spaces, compliant signage, and a clear accessible route to the building entrance. If your lot is out of compliance, we'll tell you exactly what needs to change and handle the work.
What We Do
What's Included
Every ada complianceproject from Trinity Striping covers the full scope so you don't have to coordinate a second vendor. Typical work on a job looks like this:
- ADA-compliant handicap stall striping
- Van-accessible spaces with wider access aisles
- Access aisle striping and diagonal hatching
- ADA symbol painting (wheelchair icon)
- Installation of handicap parking signs
- Tow-away and fine-amount signage per Florida law
- Accessible route from stall to building entrance
- Compliance audits for existing lots
- ADA layout design for new parking lots
Our Process
How a Project Gets Done
Every job follows the same proven steps, so the result is consistent whether it's a small driveway or a multi-acre commercial lot.
- Step 01
Compliance Audit
We walk your lot and count total stalls, existing accessible stalls, access-aisle widths, signage, and the route to the building. You get a clear list of what's compliant and what isn't.
- Step 02
Layout Planning
We map out the required number of accessible and van-accessible stalls based on your total parking count, plus any signage relocations.
- Step 03
Striping & Markings
Accessible stalls are striped to code — typically 8 feet wide with a 5-foot access aisle (8-foot for van accessible), with a hatched diagonal pattern and the ISA (International Symbol of Access).
- Step 04
Signage Installation
We install the required handicap sign at each stall — including the tow-away and fine language Florida requires — at the correct height and location.
- Step 05
Final Review
We walk the lot with you after completion to confirm every accessible element is in place, and provide documentation you can keep for inspection or insurance records.
Why It Matters
The Case for ADA Compliance
Reduced Legal Risk
ADA non-compliance lawsuits and fines can run into the tens of thousands. A compliant lot is a closed risk.
True Accessibility
Correctly striped access aisles and accessible routes mean customers, tenants, and employees with mobility needs can actually use your property.
Audit-Ready
We provide the documentation you need if your property is ever audited by a plaintiff firm, fire marshal, or insurance carrier.
Peace of Mind
You don't have to interpret the 2010 ADA Standards on your own — we've done it hundreds of times.

Frequently Asked
ADA Compliance FAQ
How many accessible spaces does my lot need?
The 2010 ADA Standards set a ratio based on total parking. For example, a lot with 1 to 25 total spaces needs 1 accessible stall; 26 to 50 needs 2; 51 to 75 needs 3. At least one accessible stall must be van-accessible, and for every 6 accessible stalls you need 1 van-accessible.
What's the difference between accessible and van-accessible?
A standard accessible stall is at least 8 feet wide with a 5-foot access aisle. A van-accessible stall is also at least 8 feet wide but with an 8-foot access aisle so a side-loading wheelchair lift has room to deploy. Van-accessible stalls also require additional signage.
Does Florida have extra requirements?
Yes. Florida requires specific language on handicap parking signs, including the maximum fine for unauthorized use and tow-away notice. We install signs that meet both ADA and Florida requirements.
What happens if my lot isn't compliant?
Non-compliance exposes a property owner to federal civil penalties and private lawsuits, which in Florida are common. The cost of bringing a lot into compliance is almost always a fraction of a single settlement.
Can you audit my existing lot?
Yes. Our compliance audit walks through stall count, access aisles, signage, slope, and accessible route, and gives you a prioritized list of what to fix.
