How can I Avoid a Parking Ticket?

  • Each surface lot/garage is signed at the entrance and further restrictions are usually designated within the lot.
  • Permits are required in all surface lots and garages from 6:00 am to 5:00 pm M-F
  • Some spaces are available in surface lots and garages after 5:00 pm unless otherwise designated by signs.  (Caution: Read signs carefully)
  • Understanding Signs & Curbs
  • Parking signs are frequently posted or changed to meet the needs of the community, so nearby signs should be read carefully each time when parking
  • Many areas have spaces reserved “At All Times”
  • Visitor parking is not allowed in “AT ALL TIMES” or Decal permit required spaces
  • Be aware of signs indicating event parking disruptions
