Parking With State-Issued Disabled ID
All parking spaces in campus lots that begin with a letter or number are restricted to vehicles with current, valid Campus License Plate Registration (CLPR), and this includes all disabled parking spaces within those lots.
Visitors and individuals with or without a current, valid CLPR who also have state-issued disability identification may park at individual parking meters or in areas controlled by multi-space pay stations. However, visitors with state-issued disability identification are expected to pay for parking in some areas. Vehicles displaying disabled parking identification may not be parked in fire lanes, move in/out spaces, roadways, loading zones, designated tow-away zones, service, courier, Zipcar, or carpool spaces, or any other area not designated as a parking space.
Any person parking in a disabled parking area or displaying state-issued disabled identification is advised of the following:
A. Vehicles displaying state-issued disabled parking identification WITH a current, valid CLPR or campus permit
a. May park in parking spaces in any ungated lot that begins with a letter or number, including disabled spaces in these lots
c. May park in spaces controlled by a multi-space pay station and are NOT required to pay for parking
B. Visitors and vehicles displaying state-issued disabled parking identification WITHOUT a current, valid CLPR or campus permit
a. May NOT park in parking spaces in campus lots that begin with a letter or number during posted restricted hours. This includes disabled spaces
b. May park in individual metered spaces for twice the amount of time listed on the meter OR four hours, whichever is shorter, and do NOT need to pay for parking during that time.
