ARKANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY 2017-18 PARKING AND MOTOR VEHICLE REGULATIONS
ENFORCEMENT OF PARKING REGULATIONS
The enforcement of the Arkansas State University (A-State) Parking and Motor Vehicle (P/MV) Regulations is the responsibility of the Department of Parking Services (DPS) and the University Police Department (UPD). All regulations are enforced 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, unless noted otherwise in the regulations. The regulations apply to all parking lots, parking structures, on- and off-street parking stalls, streets, and properties on the A-State campus.
This document is the official statement regarding parking regulations on the A-State campus. If in doubt about any parking or motor vehicle issue, contact DPS.
DISTRIBUTION OF PARKING PERMITS
The purchase, issuance, and distribution of parking permits is primarily conducted online through the my Campus web portal and the Parking Services eBiz website. Limited quantities of selected parking permits are available from the DPS office in Northpark Plaza on the A-State campus. Acquisition of a parking permit requires the registration of only one vehicle with DPS; however, the parking permit may be displayed from any vehicle parked by the permit holder. Vehicle information provided by a registrant is subject to verification. Completion of vehicle and parking permit registration includes acknowledgment by the registrant that the registrant is responsible for knowing and following the campus parking regulations. Vehicles are defined as any self-propelled vehicle having two or more wheels.
REPOSITIONABLE STICKERS, HANG TAGS, PLACARDS, AND PRINTABLE PERMITS. Persons securing a repositionable sticker, portable hang tag, placard, or printable permit must register the primary vehicle from which the permit will be displayed; however, the permits are movable to any vehicle operated by a permit holder without advance notice to DPS. Vehicle information should be updated with DPS only if there is a change in primary vehicle information. Updates to primary vehicle information should be made by completing an online vehicle information update through my Campus at the Parking Services eBiz website.
PERMIT GUIDELINES
Annual parking permits for 2017-18 are generally valid until 12:00 a.m. on September 1, 2018 unless otherwise noted by DPS. Charges for parking permits are typically billed to individual university accounts unless otherwise noted by DPS. Individuals who do not have a university account must prepay any permit fees at the Cashier Window in the Student Union and provide a receipt of the transaction to DPS before a permit is issued.
Student parking permit fees for the Fall Semester 2017 are non-refundable after September 1, 2017. Fees for student parking permits purchased for the Spring Semester 2018 are non-refundable after January 26, 2018. Parking permits for staff/faculty and students for the May Interim 2018 and Summer 1 and 2 Terms 2018 will be available at one-half the regular fee amount after May 1, 2018. Fees for student parking permits purchased for May Interim 2018, Summer 1 and 2 Terms 2018, and August Interim 2018 are non-refundable after June 1, 2018.
All vehicles parked on the A-State campus must have a current parking permit issued by DPS properly displayed with the exception of vehicles operated by visitors and invited guests that are parked in designated visitor parking or paid metered or paid parking garage spaces. Faculty, staff, and students are never considered to be campus visitors or guests for any parking purpose. Service providers, contracted employees, or other individuals who work or provide services on the A-State campus and receive compensation for the work or services they perform are never considered to be visitors or guests for any parking purpose and are required to purchase and display A-State parking permits when parking a vehicle at A-State. Faculty, staff, and students must display a valid A-State parking permit from any vehicle parked on the A-State campus. Students who are registered at another ASU System campus but are also registered for A-State courses must purchase and display an A-State parking permit when parking on the A-State campus. Students who are registered at another ASU System campus with classes that meet on the A-State campus must purchase and display an A-State parking permit when parking at A-State.
Parking permits may not be altered in any manner. Parking permits may not be displayed in a manner or format not approved by DPS.
Repositionable sticker permits must be displayed right side up (bar code at bottom) from the inside of the vehicle windshield in the lower left (driver side) corner of the windshield. The sticker may not be displayed sideways or upside down. The VIN number of the vehicle may not be obstructed by the sticker permit. The entire front surface of the permit must be visible. The permit must be affixed to the interior surface of the windshield using the inherent adhesiveness of the front surface of the permit. Alternate methods of display are not permissible including display from the vehicle dash. No more than one repositionable permit may be displayed from a single vehicle at the same time. Repositionable sticker permits may be moved from vehicle to vehicle by the permit holder without contacting DPS. However, changes in primary vehicle information should be submitted to DPS through the online Parking Services eBiz website available through the myCampus web portal.
Hang tag permits must be displayed vertically from a correctly installed rear view mirror with the front surface (surface with permit number) facing the windshield. Hang tags may not be displayed upside down or sideways. The entire front surface of the permit must be visible with no obstructions such as air fresheners, leis, sun visors, etc. The regulations prohibit the display of a hang tag permit from any part of a vehicle other than a correctly installed rear view mirror. Vehicles equipped with windshield tinting, certain rear view mirrors, and other objects that prohibit the normal viewing and function of a hang tag permit must have another type of valid permit displayed. Also, vehicles not equipped with a correctly installed rear view mirror must have another type of valid permit displayed. Hang tag permits may be moved from vehicle to vehicle without contacting DPS. However, changes in primary vehicle information should be submitted to DPS through the online Parking Services eBizwebsite available through the myCampus web portal.
Parking a vehicle on the A-State campus that is not a vehicle registered with DPS does not mitigate the requirement to display a valid and current A-State-approved parking permit. As previously noted, repositionable stickers and hang tags are transferrable to any vehicle without contacting DPS. Vehicles parked by faculty, staff, or students must have a valid parking permit displayed and may never be parked in visitor parking or other unauthorized zones even if a particular vehicle is not registered with DPS. The institutional status of the driver (faculty, staff, student, vendor/ service provider, visitor/guest, etc.) rather than the registration status of the vehicle determines the authorized parking status of the vehicle. In the absence of a standard faculty, staff, or student parking permit, temporary parking permits are available online at the Parking Services eBiz website or from the DPS office.
Dashboard placard permits and printable permits are to be properly displayed from the driver side dash as directed in the instructions printed on the reverse side of the placard or on the printable permit.
Replacement permits for repositionable stickers and hang tags are available for stolen permits when permit owners file validated theft reports with UPD or another official law enforcement agency. Copies of theft reports must be submitted to DPS to receive replacement permits. Replacement permits are also available for lost permits when permit owners complete lost permit statement forms and submit to DPS. Replacement permit fees for lost and stolen permits are full-price with the exception of permits stolen due to forced entry (must be verified by police inspection indicated on police report). Permits stolen due to forced entry may be replaced with the following reduced fees: FS: $10.00, SE: $5.00, SD: $5.00.
A-State parking permits are the responsibility of the corresponding registrant and must be removed prior to sale or transfer of a vehicle or upon termination of employment or withdrawal from the university. Permit registrants are responsible for all parking citations issued to vehicles from which their assigned permit is displayed. Students who withdraw or employees who are terminated from the university must return their permits to DPS to have their parking permits deactivated. December or May graduates who will not be registered students at A-State during the academic term following graduation may either continue to park as students using student permits (until permit expiration date) or may be designated as visitors for parking (student permits will be deactivated and considered invalid). Students must contact DPS and return the parking permit to receive a change in status from student to visitor. Otherwise, permit holders are considered to be students for parking purposes until active permits expire. Unless students withdraw from the university, they are considered to be students for parking purposes throughout the current academic year even if they are not registered for classes during a particular academic term.
Falsifying personal, vehicle, or permit registration information, unauthorized use of any parking permit, display of photocopies or other objects in lieu of authorized permits, or unauthorized modification of a parking permit will result in a falsifying information parking citation and disciplinary referral.
Permit registrants are responsible for all citations and fines issued to vehicles displaying their permits even if the operator of the vehicle is someone other than the permit registrant. In the absence of displayed permits, registered vehicle owners as identified by the state of registration are responsible for all citations issued to their registered vehicles. A registered vehicle is considered to be any vehicle that is registered with DPS and/or registered with any state motor vehicle agency. When unregistered and/or unpermitted vehicles are immobilized (booted) with a wheel lock (boot), the driver of the vehicle must be verified by presentation of an A-State ID card or drivers license before the boot will be released. The identified driver presenting an ID to DPS or UPD authorities at a booted vehicle will be responsible for corresponding parking citations issued to the vehicle. If the identified driver of the vehicle has a university account, the corresponding parking fines will be charged to their account. If the driver of the vehicle does not have a university account, payment of the parking fines at the Cashier Window of the Student Union will be required before the boot is released from the vehicle.

DISABILITY PARKING
Vehicles parked in disability parking spaces at ASU-Jonesboro must display a current disability license plate, hang tag, sticker, or placard issued by any state. This includes disabled veteran license plates (DV or DAV). Faculty, staff, and students must also display a current ASU parking permit and a disability validation sticker issued by Disability Services. Employees or students with disabilities are also authorized to park in faculty/staff zones with the permit restrictions noted above for disability spaces. Please note that faculty/staff spaces are not official disability spaces and therefore do not have the required dimensions, ramp access, and proximity to accessible routes to accommodate persons using mobility devices. Faculty/staff spaces are simply offered as a courtesy to students and employees with disabilities who choose this option.
Disability parking spaces designated "van accessible" are exclusively dedicated for persons using mechanical lifts, wheelchairs, and other mobility devices. Disabled persons who do not use mobility devices are not authorized to park in spaces designated as "van accessible. "
Many surface parking lots offer "universal design" spaces that have the dimensions needed to accommodate vehicles with mechanical lifts and other mobility devices. These spaces are also open for persons with disabilities who do not use mobility devices and are not restricted as van accessible.
Parking in disability spaces without proper permits is a serious offense. Citations issued for this violation carry a $150.00 fine. Repeat violators will be towed and fined. Citations are also issued for not displaying a validation sticker, for unauthorized use of "van accessible" spaces, and for blocking disability ramp space and recessed street and sidewalk access areas.
Unauthorized transfer or use of a disability license or permit by a party other than the permit registrant is a violation of Arkansas state law. Offenders will receive citations. Misuse of disability permits will result in confiscation of the permits. The confiscated permits will be returned to the appropriate state office.

TOWING, IMMOBILIZING, AND IMPOUNDING OF VEHICLES
The University reserves the right to immobilize, tow, or impound any vehicle without a current parking permit; parking in violation of current parking regulations or Arkansas law; or parked so as to create a hazard to traffic or pedestrians. Vehicles associated with previous unpaid parking citations may also be immobilized, towed, or impounded. Current parking and motor vehicle regulations are posted on the web site at http://parking. astate.edu.
MOVING VIOLATIONS
Moving violations include all traffic laws as stated in the Arkansas Motor Vehicle and Traffic Laws and State Highway Commission Regulations. The official A-State citation will be sufficient as a summons for violation of these rules and regulations. In lieu of a university citation, the violator may be issued a uniform traffic ticket which will be adjudicated in municipal court.
OFFENSES AND PENALTIES
Operating a motor vehicle in any manner which creates a disturbance on campus may be considered a traffic violation. This includes excessive use of sound systems, city ordinance/officer's discretion, horn, illegal exhaust systems, squealing of tires, or placing pedestrians or other drivers in a hazardous situation.
APPEALS
An appeal of any campus parking or motor vehicle citation, or any fines or fees resulting therefrom, must be filed online at the Parking Services eBiz website available through the myCampus web portal within seven (7) days of the date of issue of the citation.
FINES
The responsibility for payment of fines incurred for moving and parking violations rests with the registrant. If A-State vehicle registration is incomplete, responsibility rests with the owner and/or operator of the vehicle or driver responding to an immobilized (booted) vehicle. Persons violating the parking and motor vehicle regulations will be fined according to the university's system of violations listed below. The Department of Parking Services and Parking/Motor Vehicle Committee reserve the right to revise the violations list and fines.
