Important: We encourage you to contact organizations for further details and information regarding accommodation of specific needs.

This symbol means the organization complies with all the following architectural features:

• Accessible private parking or valet service (Parking situations vary tremendously. At minimum, an organization must have the required ratio of disabled-designated parking spaces in a privately controlled lot.);
• An accessible route from the parking area to the accessible building entrance;
• An accessible entrance to the primary function (performance, exhibit space, etc.);
• An accessible bathroom, and
• Provisions for wheelchair seating.

The Cultural Access Network has created this adjusted symbol for organizations that do not strictly comply with the above minimum standards , but have made their primary programs and services accessible to people with mobility restrictions.

• In some cases architectural limitations have been addressed through special accommodations, such as videotape of an inaccessible second floor art exhibit.
• In other cases, the organization is completely wheelchair accessible, but it could not comply with the parking requirement because parking is not provided on site (i.e. a municipal owned lot, or street parking) and the organization does not control parking usage.
