Cojo applies parking-lot stencils on commercial properties across Salem, Keizer, and Marion County. Stencils include ADA International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA), fire-lane "NO PARKING - FIRE LANE" text, "RESERVED", stall numbers, EV-charging icons, "STOP" and "YIELD" pavement words, and directional arrows. Salem hosts a unique mix of state-agency Capitol-area facilities, Marion County maintenance yards, and the standard Willamette Valley commercial-retail-multifamily blend - each subject to MUTCD §3B, ADA 502.7, and Oregon Fire Code Section 503.
Below: Salem-area neighborhoods we serve, the City of Salem code we work to, and our default service scope.

Three layers of code apply:
State-agency yards add Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS) facility-management standards on top. DAS standards typically require:

Salem-area pricing tracks Willamette Valley regional pricing. Pre-formed thermoplastic ISA prices rose 12 to 18 percent in 2025. Solvent-based traffic paint rose 8 to 14 percent. Add 8 to 12 percent for prevailing-wage state-agency, county, and Salem-Keizer School District projects.
A 2-person Cojo crew applies 80 to 130 standard stencils per work day. State-agency fleet projects (150-plus stencils) typically run 2 to 3 days, often scheduled around fleet operational windows. Marion County and Salem-Keizer SD projects often schedule weekends or summer-break windows.
Salem averages 40 inches of rain per year and freezes 8 to 14 nights per winter. Two effects on stencil installs:
Installs schedule freely from May through September. October to April installs schedule around weather windows.
Salem state-agency yards (DAS, ODOT, OSP, DOC) apply DAS Facility Management standards above and beyond OR-OSHA and IBC minimums:
Cojo coordinates the DAS approval process for state-agency stencil projects.
Cojo applies parking-lot stencils to MUTCD §3B, ADA 502.7, and Oregon Fire Code Section 503 standards across Salem, Keizer, Marion, Polk, and Yamhill counties. Contact Cojo for a Salem stencil quote, or read our parking stencil guide for the full product overview.
