This is a very interesting article inDisabled Worldabout about a free app that searches the nearest handicapped parking spots. It started in Poland, but is rapidly growing to the US and other countries. They're encouraging everyone to help them locate handicapped spots in their area. It sounds like a really neat idea!

iParkomat Disabled Parking Spots App

Brief Synopsis:IParkomat provides free and open database to search for nearest blue-badge parking spots by anyone.

"The database of available parking spots is constantly increasing, thanks to a growing iParkomat community, around the globe."

Most people with a disability can get a drivers licence - and even those who cannot and travel by car with someone else should have transportation barriers reduced to minimum.

Although many disabled parking spots are created, there is still no specific, universal database that would allow people to quickly and easily find the closest disabled parking spot, from any location. iParkomat.com wants to change that.

As of only a couple of days ago, iParkomat has launched new functionality that allows users to register, store and search information for any disabled parking spot in the world. Now people with disabilities can find a place for their cars in the most convenient location - with one tap on their smartphone.
