ADA and Parking - Did you know?

This is something new that Tina found when researching for an article she is writing for www.medicalhomeportal.org.  This is specifically for Salt Lake City but we encourage you to find out in your local community if there are similar ordinances.

Transportation - Parking for the Disabled (ADA)

All vehicles displaying a disable person’s license plate or disabled person’s placard, and transporting a disabled person, may be parked at any city parking meter without charge for up to two hours. The plate and placard are available from the Utah Department of Motor Vehicles. In addition, these same vehicles may park for up to two hours in the following restricted zones: freight loading, passenger loading and time limited parking zones. Vehicles may not be parked in areas where official signs or traffic markings prohibit stopping, standing or parking, including areas reserved for emergency use and bus stops.

All information was taken off the SLC website: http://www.slcgov.com/transportation/transportation-parking-disabled-ada
