What is the slope ratio for handicap ramp?

The slope ratio for a handicap ramp is typically 1:12, meaning for every inch of height, there should be at least 12 inches (1 foot) of ramp run. This ensures accessibility for individuals using wheelchairs or other mobility devices. For example, a ramp that rises 1 foot should be 12 feet long to meet this standard. In some cases, a steeper slope may be permissible for short distances, but 1:12 is the most commonly recommended ratio.
