Accessibility Guide to Savannah’s Historic Districts 2
Welcome To Our Community
On behalf of our Disability Council, we are pleased and honored to present you with this 2013 edition
of our Accessibility Guide to Savannah's Historic Districts. This publication is the collaborative
product of the Savannah-Chatham Council on Disability Issues, Living Independence for Everyone,
Inc., and other local advocates who want to share their respective knowledge of accessible places which
make our community unique. Our goal is to enhance your experience and to share with you the place
that we call home.
Typically, historical cities have presented visitors and residents with a variety of accessibility challenges.
From the veteran with a newly acquired limitation to a newborn who is experiencing Savannah anew
from a stroller, we recognize that our community has barriers. But a barrier removed for one is a barrier
removed for all. This guide highlights organizations, facilities and services which epitomize Savannah's
hospitality by removing barriers which have long limited visitors with and without disabilities from
truly enjoying their experience of our community.
Our local leaders have committed themselves to the strategic vision that accessibility and history are not
at odds. Through planning and directing resources to easing access through our stately squares, along
our riverwalk, on and off of our shuttles, trolleys, buses, streetcar and ferries, and into our places of
interest, we hope that we have provided for the fullest enjoyment of a diversity of people of differing
abilities and disabilities, ages and limitations. We welcome you to the beauty that each of us enjoys
every day. We hope that you find this guide useful. We encourage you to share it with your friends
and family with the same spirit of collegiality that has made its production possible.

Parking
The City of Savannah provides accessible parking spaces for the exclusive use of vehicles displaying the
appropriate permit. These parking spaces are located in City-owned garages, City operated lots (River Street
lots) and on-street. All permit spaces designated for accessible parking require payment for parking. However,

Special Use of Metered Spaces
Most spaces in downtown Savannah are metered (including accessible spaces). While the City has attempted to make the parking
kiosk accessible, some individuals with disabilities may be unable to access the meter because of a mobility issue or be unable to
manipulate the meter because of difficulty in dexterity. If you have such a physical disability that makes you unable to use a single
or multi-space parking meter, please contact the Department of Mobility and Parking Services, Enforcement Division for assistance
at (912) 651-6470. The Department will make arrangements with you that will allow for the use of metered spaces within the City
while avoiding the possibility of receiving citations. Requests and assistance are taken on a case-by-case basis throughout the year.
