PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

Accessibility

Handicapped parking sign on campus


Parking

A handicapped plate/placard and a valid university parking permit are required to park in designated handicapped spaces on campus.  Handicapped permits/license plates allow the registered individual to utilize handicapped spaces, but do not allow free parking.

Handicapped Spaces

Only the authorized handicapped individual may utilize a handicapped permit/plate. If applicable, this individual must always carry a copy of the state-issued medical certification whenever using a state-issued handicapped placard or plates. This certification must be presented to law enforcement and official university staff upon request.

In order to ensure the availability of handicapped spaces for authorized users, the university will strictly enforce and monitor the use of handicapped spaces.  Vehicles that do not have a valid handicapped permit displayed are subject to a citation and the vehicle being towed at the owner's expense.  If you are transporting an individual who is authorized to use a handicapped permit/plate, they MUST be in the vehicle when it is parked.  If the person is dropped off at another location, you may not park in a handicapped space.

Individuals who display a valid, state-issued handicap hang permit or license plate and a university parking permit may utilize handicapped spaces.  Individuals may also park at a stand alone meter for two time frames without cost if all handicapped spaces are filled. 

Individuals in possession of a handicapped plate/placard and who do not have a faculty/staff permit and wish to have access to handicapped spaces in a faculty/staff lot must submit a letter requesting an exception to access a restricted lot.  The letter must include original documentation from a physician indicating why the HVAN can not be utilized and how long the access will be required.

For additional information regarding Maryland handicapped permits/license plates, please visit the Maryland MVA site.

The following parking lots have accessible spaces designated for disabled individuals who possess the appropriate hang tags and/or license plates.

Handicapped permits are valid in all non reserved spaces in the Glen Ave/Lot 2 area next to Stephens Hall.  Individuals with a valid handicapped permit/plate may park in any handicapped spaces as well as regular visitor spaces in this area.
