Accessibility isn’t just about meeting legal requirements - it’s about making sure everyone can participate fully, whether you’re hosting a wedding in Warwick, running a festival in Monticello, or overseeing a  construction project in Nyack.

Our ADA-compliant porta potties are built to provide comfort, safety, and independence for guests or crew members with mobility needs. In this guide, we’ll explain ADA requirements for portable restrooms, show you how to plan for them, and share why Light It Up is the go-to choice for Rockland, Orange, and Sullivan counties.

This guide walks you through ADA porta potty specifications, planning tips, and how Light It Up – Rent To Go makes accessibility simple.

What Makes a Porta Potty ADA-Compliant?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines exact specifications for accessible restrooms. Our ADA porta potties meet or exceed those standards, offering:

  • Extra-wide doorways (minimum 32 inches clear opening) to allow wheelchair entry without turning or tilting.
  • Spacious interiors with a 60-inch turning radius so users can navigate comfortably.
  • Ground-level entry - no step up - so access is smooth for wheelchairs, walkers, or strollers.
  • Interior handrails for stability and support.
  • Slip-resistant flooring for safety in all weather conditions.

These design features make them practical for anyone who benefits from extra space, not just wheelchair users - parents with strollers, guests on crutches, and people who need a little more room to move.

Why ADA Units Belong at Every Event and Job Site

Even if you don’t expect a large number of attendees with mobility needs, having at least one ADA porta potty on site is both considerate and, in many cases, legally required. They:

Light It Up’s ADA porta potties arrive spotless, stocked, and ready to use, backed by our weekly professional cleaning service using industry-best eco-friendly chemicals.

How Many ADA Units Do You Need?

The ADA recommends that at least 5% of portable restrooms as ADA-compliant at a public venue be ADA-compliant. We also factor in site layout and crowd flow.

Typical event guidelines:

For  Construction sites, plan for at least 1 ADA unit per 20 workers, or more if the site covers multiple work zones.

Placement & Setup Best Practices

ADA porta potties work best when they’re easy to find and easy to reach. Our delivery team considers:

  1. Flat, stable ground -no incline, loose gravel, or uneven terrain.
  2. Accessible pathways- at least 36 inches wide, free of obstructions.
  3.  Proximity to event hubs-near main entrances, stages, or work zones.
  4. Clear signage so guests can locate ADA units quickly.
  5. Lighting for evening events- motion-activated lights available at no extra cost.
