ADA Standards section 213.2 says that where single-user portable toilet units are clustered, at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one unit, must be accessible. An accessible unit meets door width (ADA Standards section 404.2.3: minimum 32 inches clear) and turning radius (ADA Standards section 304.3.1: 60 inch diameter circle). These rent for $120 to $400 per week in Merced. Placement matters too: the accessible route must be stable, firm and slip resistant per ADA Standards section 302.1.
