ADA Accessible Portable Toilets: what it covers

Quick answer

An accessible portable toilet has a wider door, grab rails and more floor space, so a person who uses a wheelchair can enter, turn and leave. Portland Porta Potty Rental places accessible units on a level route in Portland. For a City park event the permit form sets the accessible share, and the live form is checked before the count is final.

ADA Accessible Portable Toilets illustration for Portland, OR

An accessible unit is not a standard unit with a sign. Its design gives more room, a wider door and grab rails at the right height. Those features only help if the unit can be reached on a level, firm route, so the route is as much a part of the job as the unit.

For a park event on City ground, the Parks permit form sets the accessible terms: one unit must be ADA-approved where only one is needed, and a share must be accessible where more are required. The live form is the source, and this page does not print the share.

For other events and for projects, the count is agreed with the organizer or site manager on its own line. The placement is chosen on a walk, and the daily check covers the rails, the door, the seat and the floor.

Our process

How our ada accessible portable toilets visit works

  1. Read the permit's accessible terms

    For a City park event, the accessible terms are read from the live Parks form. For other events the count is agreed with the organizer or site manager.

  2. Walk the route from the gate or parking

    The route is walked. It must be level, firm and free of steps, and the placement is chosen from that walk.

  3. Place and level the unit

    The unit is placed on the route with room to turn a wheelchair in front of the door, and leveled and checked for the door swing.

  4. Check the fittings before each visit

    The rails, the seat, the latch and the floor are checked at each visit, and a fault is repaired before the next user.

  5. Record the placement and checks

    The placement, the count and the checks are written down and shared, so the accessible need is shown as planned for and kept up.

What an accessible unit gives a user

An accessible unit gives more floor space, a wider door, grab rails and a usable seat. It is accessible only if the route to it is level and the door opens without a struggle.

The interior is wider so a wheelchair can turn. The grab rails are fixed at a height a seated person can reach, and the seat is higher and firmer than a standard seat.

The door is wider and opens in a way that does not trap a person inside. The latch is at a usable height, and a latch that is hard to reach is repaired before use.

The floor is kept dry and clear, because a wet floor is a hazard to every user and a serious one to a person using a mobility aid.

The route is part of the unit

A unit is only as accessible as the path to it. A route across grass, gravel, a step or a slope defeats the design, so the route is planned and checked with the same care as the unit.

A wheelchair needs a route that is firm, level and wide enough to pass a second person. Gravel, mud and a slope can each stop a wheelchair.

A step or a curb with no ramp is a barrier. Any step is avoided or fitted with a ramp the organizer agrees to.

On a busy event the queue can close the route. The route is marked and kept clear of the line for the whole event.

How the count is set for an event

For a City park, the count and the accessible share are read from the Parks form. For other events the count is set by area and by need, agreed with the organizer, and kept separate from the general count.

The organizer's accessibility plan, where it exists, is the starting point. Where it does not, the layout and the crowd set the count, with at least one accessible unit in each main area.

The count is written into the site plan and the servicing schedule, so the crew knows how many to check and where they are.

The accessible count is not taken from a figure on a website. The permit's terms and the organizer's plan are the sources.
