Implementation guidelines
Parking
Location- Choose a location with parking nearby — guests shouldn’t have to travel long distances from their cars to the entrance.
- The path from parking should be unobstructed, flat or with ADA-compliant ramps, and well lit.
- Rule of thumb: at least twice the ADA parking stalls as the number of registered guests who requested them.
Mass transit
Location- Choose a venue close to an accessible bus or rail stop.
- Publish accessible routes and entrances on your registration site.
- Ensure transit runs to align with event start and end times.
- Ensure transit runs regularly during the event in case someone needs to leave unexpectedly.
Paratransit
Offerings- Some transit systems offer paratransit for people who can’t use regular services. Check whether it’s available to your venue and publish that information on your registration site.
- Consider covering the cost of private paratransit for guests who require it — especially when those guests are providing a service (participating in on-site user research, giving a presentation, and so on).
At-event travel
Accessible conveyance- If the event requires transportation between buildings or areas, verify with your transit provider that services are accessible and plentiful enough for every guest who registered with an accommodation.
