Respect the Space Disability Parking Campaign Begins New Initiative

This month marks the 26th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and is the beginning of a new phase of the County’s “Respect the Space” disability parking campaign.

A new campaign goal is to ensure that signage for all disability parking spaces in Montgomery County complies with Maryland’s Accessibility Code adopted under the Public Safety Code. A beginning step is to ensure that parking lot managers know their legal obligations. All parking lot managers are encouraged to review the legal standards, and take necessary action to make their parking lot signs compliant.
