The mission of Fairfax County's Land Development Services (LDS) focuses on the safe and sustainable building of our communities, which includes the regulation of off-street parking. As such LDS is conducting a survey to determine the nature and extent of available accessible, off-street parking within Fairfax County. Your survey response will help to provide a more informed view of accessible parking as we consider and evaluate future options. If you use off-street accessible parking or would like to answer on behalf of a person with a disability, please participate. The survey will be available until April 15.
