This is the unit the rules actually name. Under ADA 213.2, any cluster of single-user portables needs at least 5% accessible units, rounded up. Phoenix says ADA toilets must be available at events, Scottsdale requires at least one if portables are provided, and Mesa sets 10% of total toilet facilities.
The unit only helps if someone can reach it. Place it on a firm, level route without curbs, gravel ruts or slopes, close to the main area.

What to ask the operator
- Does the unit meet the 2010 ADA Standards section 603?
- Is a ramp or landing needed for your model?
- Can you place it on the accessible route, not just at the end of the row?
Valley tip: Construction-only toilets are exempt under ADA 203.2, but the moment the public uses them, the accessible count applies.
