About the Americans with Disabilities Act 

Passed in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (also known as the ADA) is intended to prevent discrimination based on disability and provide disabled Americans with reasonable accommodations in public. Part of those accommodations is ensuring that all public property—and private property that’s open to the public—includes accessibility structures like concrete wheelchair ramps, elevators, handrails, and more.  

Business owners are responsible for ensuring their commercial property is ADA compliant. Failure to provide equal access to disabled customers through concrete wheelchair ramps and handicap parking is not only unethical, but also carries a hefty price tag, with violations of ADA law resulting in fines in the tens of thousands of dollars—in addition to inconveniencing your customers.
