Ê×Ò³| Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­

These rules and regulations have been formulated and approved to best utilize roadways and parking areas for the benefit of Ê×Ò³| Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ students, faculty, staff, and visitors; to ensure access at all times for ambulances and firefighting equipment; and to attempt to protect all persons on the campus from injury by vehicles. The operation of a motor vehicle or bicycle on the Ê×Ò³| Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ (UNLV) property is a privilege granted by the University and is not an inherent right of any student, faculty, staff member, or visitor and can be denied or revoked for cause at any time. The University recognizes that the automobile is often necessary for transportation to and from campus and attempts to provide parking spaces for students, faculty, staff, and visitors.

1. Vehicle Control Established. No motor vehicle or bicycle shall be operated, parked, or otherwise used on the campus except in strict conformity with these Parking Regulations established and published by the Ê×Ò³| Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­. The term “University Campus" or the word "campus," as used in these regulations, shall be construed to include all property under the supervision of the Ê×Ò³| Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­. Fees will be charged for parking on Ê×Ò³| Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ property as approved by the university president or designee.
2. Campus Enforcement Agencies. University Police as well as the Parking and Transportation Services Department are authorized to enforce these Parking Regulations. The University Police, however, have the additional duty to enforce Federal, State, and County laws on all Ê×Ò³| Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ property, in accordance with the provisions of NRS 396.325. Control of the movement of vehicles on campus is the responsibility of the University Police. The University Police shall report to the President of the Ê×Ò³| Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ or his / her designate. Parking Services Department shall report to the President of the Ê×Ò³| Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ or his/her designee.

3. Handicap Parking. Persons requiring parking on campus covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) must have a valid State issued handicap license plate or placard issued by the Nevada State Department of Motor Vehicles. Placards must be displayed at all times.

   All individuals with state-issued handicap privileges must also purchase a UNLV virtual handicap parking permit, a UNLV short-term handicap parking permit, or purchase the proper amount of time using the PayByPhone Application. This requirement increases the availability of accessible parking spaces and significantly helps curb the abuse of these spaces.

   To purchase these permits, the driver must present their current placard along with the letter received at the time of issuance and a form of identification when registering their vehicle at Parking and Transportation Services. The cost depends on the driver’s status (faculty, staff, or student).

   Visitors utilizing handicap parking spaces must purchase the proper amount of time using the PayByPhone application. PayByPhone location codes are posted on the signs in front of the accessible space.

   The registered owner of the handicap plate or placard must be in the vehicle when it is being parked. If another person is driving the vehicle and drops the placard owner off at his or her destination and then proceeds to park in a handicapped space, the vehicle will be booted and the driver will be issued a $250 citation. Students found parked illegally in a handicapped space will also be referred to the Office of Student Conduct for disciplinary action. If your vehicle does not have a handicapped license plate, the portable handicapped tag issued by the state must be displayed on the rearview mirror or on the vehicle dashboard, face up so the permit may be easily viewed by any enforcement officers. Handicap permits must be used in accordance with NRS
   484.408.

4. Visitors. Visitors to the campus need not have vehicles registered with Parking and Transportation Services of the Ê×Ò³| Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­, but they must use properly marked visitor parking spaces. Visitors also have the option of purchasing a permit for student parking through the PayByPhone Application or over the counter at the Parking Office. Members of the Board of Regents, advisory bodies, unpaid volunteers and others providing donated service to the University may be issued an appropriate permit with the approval of the Parking and Transportation Services.

5. University Parking Advisory Committee. The Parking Advisory Committee at the Ê×Ò³| Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ may recommend policies and regulations governing parking on the campus and work in conjunction with the University Police in maintaining vehicle order and safety. The Committee shall report to and be appointed/approved by the President or his/her designee. Faculty, professional staff, classified staff, and students shall be represented. The Committee shall meet regularly during the academic year, and written minutes shall be kept of all meetings. A simple majority of the members of the committee in attendance constitutes a quorum, and approval of a majority of those present shall be necessary for adoption of any recommendation. The chair is a voting member of the Committee. The Committee shall appoint a secretary and consultants as needed. The Director of Parking Services or his/her designee will attend all meetings, but will not serve as a voting member.

6. Parking Permits. All areas and facilities, paved as well as non-paved, in the University parking system will be designated. Permits issued for parking privileges will, according to its coding, indicate the nature of the parking privileges permitted to the holder. The Parking and Transportation Services Department, after consultation with the Parking Advisory Committee, shall establish, by regulation, various classifications of parking permits with approval of the President or designee. Parking and Transportation Services utilizes a virtual parking permit system for semester or longer permits. The system uses license plate recognition (LPR) technology to automatically connect license plates to permits. License plate information must be accurate to be valid. All vehicles must have a license plate facing the drive aisle for the LPR system to identify the plate. Failure to do so without proper approval can result in a violation.

   Permits remain University property and can be reclaimed by the Parking and Transportation Services Department or the University Police, if an individual's privilege to park or operate a vehicle on campus has been revoked or modified. Any person driving a vehicle with a UNLV permit shall park properly. The individual is responsible for all citations written on a vehicle registered to the person or registered under that person's permit. Each faculty, staff, or student may apply for and purchase ONE permit, allowing one vehicle to be parked on campus at a time. Each vehicle parked on campus must have a valid permit or have paid the appropriate pay space fee.
