Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Accommodations
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted to ensure that all qualified individuals with disabilities enjoy the same access and opportunities available to persons without disabilities. It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, employment, transportation, state and local government services, and telecommunications. The Virginia Judicial System is committed to providing equal access to, and full participation in, courts by people with disabilities, including attorneys, litigants, defendants, witnesses, victims, members of the public and prospective and current employees.
Types of reasonable accommodations include American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter, Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART), afternoon hearing, frequent breaks, and service animal.

Accessible Parking
Fairfax Circuit Court has available lots for Accessible Parking for members of the public. There are two parking lots with full Accessible Parking.
- The first lot is located near the flag poles on West Street as you make the turn towards Page Avenue. This lot is the most convenient for Accessible Parking since it has a very short direct walk to the main entrance to the Courthouse. There are 15 total spaces and 4 of them are van accessible.
- The second lot is directly across from Garage A in the large grass field.
In addition, Garage A (Employee Parking) and Garage B (Public Parking) have designated spaces for Accessible parking.
- The public may park in Garage A with appropriate credentials (placard and/or license tags as noted below) and by notifying security upon entry since this lot is restricted.
- Garage B is an overflow lot for accessible parking and has an elevated walkway on the 4th floor of the parking garage.
All of these lots fill up quickly in the mornings so please allow enough time when travelling to the Courthouse. In addition, please make sure you have your placard with the international symbol of accessibility hanging from your review mirror. If you do not have the placard, please make sure your vehicle is equipped with a special license plate as required by law. Vehicles not displaying proper credentials may be ticketed and/or towed.
