Electric Vehicle Charging Stations, Accessibility: FAQs

Can you provide recommended signage for ADA accessible spaces?

RESPONSE: Required identification signs for accessible EVCS vehicle spaces are indicated in CBC Chapter 11B Section 11B-812.8 and required vehicle space surface markings are indicated in Section 11B-812.9. Other courtesy messages may be provided but are not required by CBC Chapter 11B.

For projects within the public rights-of-way, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has several signs for EV charging in its California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. For the appropriate use of these signs you may contact Caltrans.
