Understand wheelchair accessibility

You can edit a business's accessibility attributes. Learn more about it below:

Wheelchair-accessible entrance

Add this attribute if the entrance to the business is approximately 3 feet wide and doesn’t have steps. Three feet (one meter) is about the width for 2 people to stand comfortably side by side. If there’s one or more steps, there should be a permanent ramp, or at least a moveable ramp. Entryways with only revolving doors should be marked “No” for this attribute.

Wheelchair-accessible restroom

Add this attribute if the entrance to the restroom is at least one meter wide and can be reached without any steps up or down. If a person in a wheelchair wants to enter a stall inside the restroom, the stall’s entrance also needs to be one meter wide. Remember, one meter is about the width of 2 people comfortably side by side.

Wheelchair-accessible seating

Add this attribute if the main area of the business can be accessed without stairs. There should also be enough space for someone in a wheelchair to navigate to and sit at a table. If all the tables are high (for example, at standing level), the business isn’t wheelchair friendly.

Wheelchair-accessible parking

Add this attribute if there’s a parking spot specifically marked for those with accessibility needs. These spots are often marked with specific painting on the ground, placards, or signs, depending on your country and region.

Wheelchair-accessible elevator

Add this attribute if a place has multiple floors and there’s an elevator large enough to accommodate a wheelchair.
