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 metre) is about the width for two 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 toilets

Add this attribute if the entrance to the toilets is at least one metre wide and can be reached without any steps up or down. If a person in a wheelchair wants to enter a toilet cubicle, the cubicle’s entrance also needs to be one metre wide. Remember, one metre is about the width of two 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 markings 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.
