IMPORTANT INFORMATION

NEW/CHANGED VEHICLES- register at the Parking Office as soon as the license plates are put on the vehicle.  The cost of an additional sticker is $5.00.  No refunds or exchanges on remnants of old decals will be made.

DRIVING A DIFFERENT VEHICLE TO CAMPUS- obtain a free hangtag for your replacement vehicle while your registered vehicle is being repaired, available at Parking Office, or Police Dispatch when Parking is closed.  Displaying the hangtag without the decal is not acceptable and will result in a $15 fine.

FORGOTTEN HANGTAG – if you forget your hangtag, obtain a free one for the day at the Parking Department.  The decal alone is not sufficient.

LOST/STOLEN/DAMAGED PERMITS- The University is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged permits.  However, it must be reported to the Parking Office immediately.  Replacement hangtags can be obtained at the Parking Office for a $15 fee.  The original hangtag will be invalidated and, if found, may not be used or a $250 fine and $50 boot fee will apply. 

UNPAID CITATIONS- Three or more unpaid tickets may result in vehicle being “booted”.  All tickets plus a $50 boot fee must be paid before the boot will be removed.

Handicap and Temporary Disabled
A current Rutgers Handicapped hangtag or decal is required at all times.
Permanent Disabled:  State placards and handicapped license plates are not accepted as evidence of a disability by the permit holder.  These are accepted by the Rutgers Parking Department for issuance of Rutgers handicapped designation.

Temporary Disabled: Provide the Rutgers Parking Department with a letter from your Doctor indicating the nature of your disability and the amount of time you’ll be temporarily disabled.  If you do not already have a parking permit, a Temporary Handicapped permit can be purchased for $5 per day.

Handicap spaces are available in Lots #1, #2, #12, #13 and #14 regardless of the type of regular Rutgers permit held.  Spaces are designated with signs and stalls are ground-marked with wheelchair symbols.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR VEHICLE IS LOCKED AND VALUABLE ITEMS ARE NOT VISIBLE.
THE UNIVERSITY ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SECURITY OF VEHICLES OR THEIR CONTENTS.

Disabled vehicles should not obstruct traffic flow or endanger safety.  The vehicle should be moved within 24 hours or will be subject to towing and the owner’s expense.  Notify the Parking Office immediately of any disabled vehicles.  If Parking Office is closed, please advise Police Dispatch.

Vehicle owners/operators are expected to abide by the state registration laws while parked on University properties.  Vehicles without license plates or valid registration will be towed at owner’s expense.

Vehicles should be parked within stalls that are marked.  Otherwise, a space should be sought within another authorized parking lot.  The main Lot #7 always has space to accommodate vehicles.  You are not guaranteed to find a space where you want when you want it.

The Parking Department reserves the right to close any parking area.  Notification will be made by e-mail
Vehicles parked within a closed area are subject to ticketing and/or towing.

The fact that a person parks in violation and does not receive a citation does not mean that parking rules are not in effect, or that a violation did not occur.

Notes left on vehicles to avoid citations are not acceptable.  Come or call Parking to resolve the issue and avoid ticketing.
Parking permits are not transferrable to another person.  Only the purchaser may use the hangtag and decal.

The registrant of a vehicle is responsible for all violations identified with that vehicle, even when that person is not driving. If the citation remains unanswered further penalties will be assessed.  Payments may be made online.  Appeals must be filed within 10 days; the form is online and in the Police Department Lobby.

HOW TO DISPLAY PERMITS
A Rutgers parking permit is a two part permit system; a hangtag to be suspended from your rearview mirror and a small color-matched decal for the rear driver’s side window.
BOTH YOUR HANGTAG AND WINDOW DECAL MUST BE DISPLAYED AS SHOWN:

Decal to be permanently affixed to the rear side window on driver's side of vehicle.
