Parking

REGISTERING YOUR VEHICLE

 

All faculty, staff and students who park a motor vehicle, including motorcycles, on College property must register that vehicle with the Public Safety Department and obtain a parking permit in order to park on campus.

To register your vehicle and obtain a parking permit, bring a copy of your vehicle registration with you to the Public Safety Office, located in Dewey Hall. (If you bring the original, we will make a copy for our use and return the original to you.)

Student parking permits are $50 each and are valid through the date indicated on the permit. Permit fees are not refundable. 

If your permit is lost or stolen, notify Public Safety immediately. There is a $50 replacement fee for lost or stolen permits.

The permit you receive is specific to your vehicle and cannot be loaned or transferred to any other vehicle.  If you obtain a new vehicle, you must return the old permit to the Public Safety Department in order to obtain a new permit, free of charge. 

Temporary handicapped permits are available for faculty, staff and students who have a documented medical condition or impairment that requires special parking privileges.  Contact the Public Safety Office for more information.

 

 

PERMIT PLACEMENT

Affix your parking permit to the back of the car’s rear-view mirror, as indicated by the red sticker shown here, so the permit is visible from the outside of the vehicle.

TICKETING AND TOWING

 

Vehicles without a valid parking permit, parked in an area not designated for parking, or parked in a lot designated for a permit type other than the one displayed on the permit are subject to ticketing and/or towing. In addition, vehicles interfering with snow removal, blocking fire lanes, parked in roadways or in other prohibited areas, or posing a health or safety hazard (e.g., leaking oil or fuel) will be ticketed and/or towed to an off-campus location at the owner’s expense.

 

ABANDONED VEHICLES

 

All vehicles on the Johnson State campus must be in operable condition. Vehicles lacking valid license plates and not registered with Public Safety, as well as those that are in such a state of disrepair that they cannot be operated, will be considered abandoned and are subject to removal at the owner’s expense.

 

If your vehicle has broken down and is inoperable, please notify Public Safety immediately. Vehicles that have not been moved for more than 14 days, and vehicles that pose a hazard (by leaking fuel or oil, for example), are subject to immediate removal without notice.
