Section: Facilities and Services
Subject: Motor Vehicle Parking Permits

POLICY

All motor vehicles operated on university property must be registered with the Department of Parking Services and must display a current parking permit.

REGULATIONS

Hang tag permits must be displayed by hanging on the rear view mirror so the entire front surface of the permit is visible. The regulations prohibit the display of a hang tag permit on any part of a vehicle other than a correctly installed rear view mirror. Vehicles equipped with windshield tinting, mirrors, and other objects that prohibit the normal viewing and function of a hang tag permit must display a permanent sticker permit. Also, vehicles not equipped with a correctly installed rear view mirror must display a permanent sticker. Hang tag permits may be moved from vehicle to vehicle.

Permanent sticker permits must be displayed horizontally on the top left corner of rear glass or on the left rear bumper. Alternate methods of display are not permissible. Permanent sticker permits must be applied to back glass as soon as they are purchased.

Replacement permits for a new vehicle purchase, auto accident, or trade-in can be purchased if the owner presents the old permit intact or with readable remains. The replacement costs for permits are as follows: FS - $10.00, SE - $5.00, and SD - $5.00. No reduced pricing exists for any other circumstances necessitating permit replacement including loss and theft.

ASU parking permits are the responsibility of the purchaser and must be removed prior to sale or transfer of the vehicle or upon termination of employment or withdrawal from the university.

Falsifying registration information will result in a fine of $84.00. A person who allows another individual to purchase a permit for him/her will be fined $20.00 a day. A citation will be issued to both parties each day until the matter is corrected.

  1. Parking permits are of seven types:
    1. Student Permits are issued to all students, including evening and Saturday students. The place of residence has no bearing on whether or not a permit is required. Vehicles displaying this permit may be parked in any non-restricted area. All metered and garage parking must be paid. Students with reserved spaces must display a current ASU permit.
    2. Faculty/Staff Permits are issued to faculty and staff. Vehicles displaying this permit may be parked in areas painted green or in any non-restricted area. All metered and garage parking must be paid. Faculty and staff with reserved spaces must display a current ASU permit. Faculty permits will be limited to one. Students driving vehicles displaying FS permits may not park in the faculty/staff area (green). Both the permit owner and the driver will be subject to citations if enforcement personnel observe a driver parked in green as non-faculty.

    3. Staff/Employee Permits are issued to employees not wishing to purchase a FS permit. Vehicles displaying this permit may be parked in any non-restricted area. All metered and garage parking must be paid. Employees with reserved spaces must display a current ASU permit.

    4. Temporary Permits are issued to faculty, staff, or students who are unable to display their current parking permit. Examples for use include a misplaced permit, permit left in another vehicle, etc. Persons with FS permits may use a temporary permit to park in areas painted green or other non-restricted areas. Persons with SE or SD permits may use temporary permits to park in any non-restricted area. All metered and garage parking must be paid. Temporary permits are valid for one week (7 days) from date of purchase.

    5. Business Permits are issued to persons who are not faculty, staff, or students and who will receive or potentially receive payment for services rendered on or for any campus of the ASU system. Examples include but are not limited to sales, equipment maintenance/repair, vendors, service providers, etc. Vehicles displaying a business permit may be parked in areas painted green and any other non-restricted area. Parking is also allowed in yellow zones for load/unload activities as long as access to fire hydrants, refuse dumpsters, etc. is not impeded. Vehicles must be promptly removed when load/unload activities are complete. All metered and garage parking must be paid.

    6. Construction Permits are issued to persons who are working on construction projects coordinated through the construction office of Facilities Management. Construction permits must be secured from the construction office.

    7. Visitor Permits are issued to persons who are not students, faculty, or staff associated with the ASU system or who are not conducting business related to the ASU system for which payment or potential payment will be received. Vehicles displaying a visitor permit may be parked in areas painted green or in any other non-restricted area. All metered and garage parking must be paid.

  2. Operators of motor vehicles on campus are responsible for complying with all rules and regulations outlined in the "Parking and Traffic Regulations Handbook". The Department of Parking Services issues a printed copy of the regulations to new or transfer students, new faculty and staff, and others who request a copy. Current faculty/staff and returning students should view the parking regulations at http://parking.astate.edu.
