Methods and systems for stowing and extending a stowable access ramp mounted to a wheelchair accessible vehicle are disclosed. One such system includes a stowable ramp extendable between a stacked position and an extended position. The ramp includes an upper panel for forming an upper part of the ramp, a mid panel for forming a middle part of the ramp, and a lower panel for forming a lower portion of the ramp. The mid panel is hingedly coupled to the upper panel for pivoting the mid panel into ramp alignment with the upper panel during extension of the ramp and the lower ramp is hingedly coupled to the mid panel for pivoting the lower panel into ramp alignment with the mid panel during extension of the ramp. The upper panel, mid panel, and lower panel stack atop each other for stowing in the stacked position.
