An accessible portable restroom is planned into the count of an Albuquerque event, not added on top of it. The City's Cultural Services rental application asks for accessible toilets as part of the total, and it suggests one toilet per 200 people, including ADA units, as a question on the form. The accessible share for a given event is confirmed with the permit office, because no binding share for Albuquerque events was found in the sources reviewed.
