Legal Question in Disability Law in California
Handicap placard parking
I attended a college sporting event where the only close handicap parking was in a donor only lot. They made me park almost a quarter mile from my seats when the other lot was one hundred feet away. Is this permitted under the ADA laws?

It really depends on the situation. I would like to discuss this with you and determine if this was an illegal act or not. Please get in touch at your earliest convenience.

Probably. Essentially, the donor lot is a private lot paid for by subscription as a donor. No one other than donors was allowed, whether disabled or not. It's no different than any other private property. Disabled don't gain special treatment or access rights other than having spaces in the generally accessible lot closest to the exits or transport points.
