A parking lot with a 30 vehicle parking capacity requires how many van accessible parking spaces?

1. 2

2. 1

3. 4

4. 3

The correct answer is: 1

In the context of accessibility regulations, specifically those outlined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the requirement for van-accessible parking spaces is based on the total number of parking spaces in a facility. For a parking lot with a capacity of 30 vehicles, the ADA specifies that at least one of the accessible spaces must be van-accessible. A van-accessible space is designed to accommodate vans that have wheelchair lifts or other accessibility features, which require additional space for access. The calculation includes that for lots with 1 to 25 total spaces, a minimum of one accessible space is required, and of these, at least one must be van-accessible. Therefore, for a parking lot with a capacity of 30 vehicles, the provision of one designated van-accessible parking space meets the ADA requirements. This ensures that individuals who need to use vans for accessibility purposes have the required parking available to them.
