Violators parking in ADA accessible stalls, in accordance with Ohio House Bill #148, are subject to a fine and possible impoundment of the vehicle in violation.

Parking for loading and unloading up to 30 minutes will be granted when necessary. Permits for this purpose must be obtained from Parking Services at 4 Edwards Center and are valid only in the designated location. A valid load/unload permit must be clearly displayed at all times while loading or unloading.

Established garage rates will be charged for loading and unloading in garages on the uptown campuses.

Contractors working out of their vehicles must park within a construction area, if one has been designated, or in an available facility at the daily or monthly rate. Parking charges are to be paid by the contractor. Violators of these policies will be cited or towed. All contractors and/or subcontractors requiring parking must submit the request in advance and must provide verification issued by the appropriate university department.

Service or sales vehicles will be limited to visitor parking facilities unless the service person needs to work from their vehicle. In these cases, Parking Services will issue a thirty-minute temporary permit for loading and unloading. The vehicle must then relocate to a visitor facility. Service persons working on projects longer than one day will be treated as contractors and subject to contractor's guidelines.

University vehicles are subject to university parking regulations. Operators of university-owned or leased vehicles must comply with vehicle regulations. If the operator’s identity cannot be determined, the department to which the vehicle is assigned will be liable for payment of fines.

Visiting government-licensed vehicles are exempt from parking permit requirements. Government vehicles are subject to compliance with parking rules and regulations.
