University Policy

Rationale/​Purpose:

The university provides reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with a disability to have access to its programs and services, including parking. The university provides accessible parking in accordance with the ADA Standards for Accessible Design, and UW-Madison Transportation Services is authorized to charge for parking, including accessible parking, under Wis. Stat. § 346.50(2a). See UW-6107 Accessible Parking for more information.

This policy defines the process for employees, students, and visitors to request a reasonable parking accommodation beyond accessible parking under UW-6107 Accessible Parking. The cost of a reasonable accommodation is covered by the university. 

Scope:

Anyone with accessibility needs.

Policy:
  • Anyone requiring a parking accommodation on the basis of disability must contact the appropriate disability authority: 
  • The Campus Disability Authority will coordinate a decision with the UW Facilities Planning and Management Facilities Access Specialist to approve, modify or deny an accommodation request.
  • If an accommodation request is denied, the applicant may file a written appeal with the ADA Coordinator in the Office of Compliance within 30 calendar days from the date of accommodation denial. Further information about the appeal process and timely filing is available through the Office of Compliance.
Procedure:

UW-Madison Transportation Services Procedure:

  1. The Facilities Planning and Management Facilities Access Specialist will work with UW-Madison Transportation Services to implement the approved accommodation.
  2. Approved parking accommodations will be reviewed periodically to determine current needs.
  3. When the person who receives the parking accommodation leaves employment or is no longer affiliated with the university, the accommodation is cancelled.  If the accommodation involves a specific stall (in a specific location) UW-Madison Transportation Services will determine the appropriate designation and usage of the stall.
