From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Terrebonne Parish!

Your vote to renew TARC’s millage means adults with disabilities in our community can continue receiving the services, support, and opportunities for the next 10 years.

It means continued employment opportunities, day programs, transportation, residential support, health services, and so much more. Most importantly, it means the people and families we serve can continue counting on TARC.

To everyone who voted, shared our story, displayed a sign, or spoke up for our mission—thank you. We are deeply grateful for your trust, your kindness, and the love you have shown the TARC family.

We are honored to continue serving this wonderful community.

Strong Communities Include Everyone.

Accessibility Moment #137: The Stripes Are Not Extra Parking

Look at this diagram.

This is what accessible parking actually requires to work.

ACCESSIBLE PARKING =
At least 5-7 ft of access aisle
10 ft for parking AND access aisle combined

That pink striped area? That's the ACCESS AISLE.

It's not:
Extra space for your cart
A place to park your motorcycle
"Just for a minute while I run in"
Empty space you can borrow

That aisle is where I lower my ramp. Where I transfer. Where I roll. Where I exist without getting hit by a car.

When you park ON those stripes, you didn't just take a space. You took my ability to get out of my vehicle. You trapped me in. Or trapped me out.

An accessible space without an access aisle is not accessible.

We can complain, or we can DO something.

Go to www.parkingmobility.com and get the Parking Mobility App — take a photo, report a violation in 30 seconds, and help enforce access in real time. It's how we turn frustration into action.

The stripes are not suggestions. They are survival.

Leave the aisle. Report the violation. Respect the access.
