A 1585 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires provision of parking spaces reserved exclusively for persons unable to ambulate without aid of wheelchair in certain parking facilities.

This bill requires new parking facilities with eight or more spaces to reserve at least 1% of total spaces (minimum one space) exclusively for people who cannot walk without a wheelchair. These spaces must be located closer to building entrances than standard disability parking, clearly marked with the International Symbol of Access, and meet specific width requirements (12 feet). For non-residential facilities, the exclusive use period is 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.; outside these hours, individuals with valid disability placards may use them. The bill applies to all new construction after implementation and mandates an educational campaign about the new rules.
