Disabled parking, also known as accessible parking or handicap parking, is a designated parking space that is reserved for individuals with disabilities. It is typically located near the entrance of a building or other destination, and it is wider than a standard parking space to accommodate vehicles with ramps or lifts. In order to park in a disabled parking space, you must have a disabled parking permit.
Disabled parking permits are issued by the state in which you reside. To apply for a disabled parking permit, you will need to provide documentation of your disability. This documentation can include a letter from your doctor or other healthcare provider, or it can be a copy of your disability benefits award letter. Once you have gathered the necessary documentation, you can apply for a disabled parking permit online, by mail, or in person at your local DMV.
