The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) has released its Draft ADA Transition Plan, outlining ongoing efforts to enhance accessibility across public rights-of-way owned and maintained by SHA — and they want to hear from YOU.

🚗🅿️ Respect the Spaces That Matter! 🅿️🚗

Handicap parking spots aren’t just empty spaces — they’re essential access points for people who rely on them every day.

Why it matters: These spots are placed for safety and convenience, making it easier for individuals with disabilities to access buildings and services.
