Accessibility Markings

Accessible Parking Stall Markings for Ontario Properties

Accessible parking stalls are a legal requirement under the Ontario Building Code and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). They must be clearly marked, correctly dimensioned, and in the right quantity based on your total parking capacity — and they must remain visible and legible to be enforceable. Easy Line Marking provides professional accessible parking marking services for commercial properties, retail plazas, office buildings, condominiums, schools, hospitals, and municipal facilities across the Greater Toronto Area.

What Our Accessible Parking Markings Include

• International Symbol of Access (ISA) — The recognized wheelchair symbol painted in the stall in standardized proportions required by the Ontario Building Code
• Access aisles — Hatched access aisle markings beside accessible stalls to required minimum widths (1.5 m for standard accessible stalls, 2.4 m for van-accessible stalls)
• Van-accessible stall identification — Markings identifying van-accessible stalls where required by your parking count
• Reserved text stenciling — "RESERVED" stencils or stall-number designations where applicable
• Stall boundary lines — Standard stall lines to the required minimum width (3.4 m for accessible stalls) as specified by the Ontario Building Code
• Refreshes of non-compliant markings — Where existing accessible markings are faded, worn, or incorrectly sized or placed, we repaint to current standards

Ontario Requirements at a Glance

The Ontario Building Code specifies the minimum number of accessible parking spaces required based on total parking capacity. General thresholds include: 1 accessible stall for lots of 1–25 spaces, 2 for 26–50, 3 for 51–75, 4 for 76–100, and 5 for 101–200 spaces, with additional stalls required at a specified ratio for larger lots. Van-accessible spaces are required within that total. We can review your current stall count and advise whether your accessible parking meets current Ontario requirements as part of the quoting process.

Placement Requirements

Accessible parking stalls must be located on the shortest accessible route to the building entrance they serve. They must be on a level or nearly level surface (maximum 2% slope in all directions per OBC), and be clearly identifiable by pavement marking and, ideally, post-mounted signage as well. If your accessible stalls are in the right quantity but poorly located relative to your entrance, we can advise on reconfiguring the layout during repainting.

AODA and Enforcement

Under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act and Ontario's Highway Traffic Act, parking in a designated accessible stall without a valid permit is a provincial offence. Accessible stalls must be clearly marked for enforcement to be possible. If your existing markings are faded to the point that a parking officer cannot clearly identify the stall and symbol, the stall cannot be effectively enforced.
