PARKING PERMITS

ISSUANCE AND USE OF PERMITS

Parking permits are available at Parking Services, located in the safety building, upon application and the payment of the appropriate fees. The applicant will receive a parking permit and/or indicator which specifies parking area(s) where the vehicle may be parked.

Temporary parking permits may be obtained from Police Services when the Parking Services office is closed.

Housing area parking permits are issued by the respective apartment housing offices. WAC-504-15-410


CONSENT TO WITHHOLDING OF FINES

All permit applications shall provide that the university may withhold unpaid fines from any sums owed the permit holder and to treat the same as a debt. WAC-504-15-420


CHANGE IN RESIDENCE OR LICENSE PLATES

Permit holders changing residence or license plates after initial application must contact Parking Services and complete the necessary forms. Failure to do so may result in continued responsibility for citations issued to the old license plate and a loss of parking privileges. WAC-504-15-430


TERM OF PERMIT-TRANSFER OF PERMIT
Permits are valid up to and including the expiration date on the permit.

The ownership of permits is generally not transferrable, but exceptions can be made by Parking Services provided that:

right arrow

the person relinquishing ownership and the eligible purchaser appear in person at Parking Services when requesting such a transfer;

right arrow

the former owner relinquishes all ownership or claim to the permit, and pays all outstanding fines; and

right arrow

the new owner completes a new application form for the permit.

If a replacement permit is requested, the old permit must be removed and presented to Parking Services to be eligible for a replacement or a refund. WAC-504-15-440

REPLACEMENT PERMITS, INDICATORS, AND GATE CARDS

  1. Sold or traded vehicles. Failure to advise Parking Services of a sale or trade for registration purposes may result in continued responsibility to the permit holder for citations received on that permit.

    The permit holder has responsibility for removing parking permits prior to selling or trading a vehicle. The identifiable remnants of the original permit must be presented to Parking Services to receive a free replacement. Persons failing to comply with this requirement shall pay the cost of a new permit.

  2. Lost/stolen permits. Permit holders are responsible for the security of their permits. The theft or loss of parking permit should be reported to Parking Services immediately upon discovery.

    A stolen permit will be replaced once at no cost, but only if a theft report of the permit has been filed in the appropriate police jurisdiction and verified by parking services. The second time the permit is reported stolen, the replacement fee will be ten dollars; the third time, twenty dollars; and thereafter, the original cost of the stolen permit.

    Lost or stolen permits must be returned to the Parking Services office immediately if recovered.

  3. Windshield replacements. When a permit-bearing windshield is replaced, the permit replacement fee will be waived if proof of replacement is presented.

  4. Gate card replacement. A lost, stolen, or damaged gate card will be replaced for five dollars. WAC-504-15-450


FALSE INFORMATION
No person shall obtain, attempt to obtain, or use in a manner contrary to these regulations, a modified parking permit or a permit issued upon false information. A violation of this section includes giving a false name, address, social security number, and/or other information known to be false. It also includes the mere use of a visitor, conference, or commercial permit by staff or students. Violation of this provision shall constitute the illegal use of a parking permit, and will be subject to citation and fine. WAC-504-15-460


RECALL OF PERMITS AND GATE CARDS
Parking permits are the property of the university and may be recalled by the parking manager when:

right arrow

The purpose for which the permit or gate card was issued changes or no longer exists (e.g., a person who no longer lives in a residence hall would be required to hand over their gray permit for refund or credit toward an appropriate permit);

right arrow

A permit or gate card is used on an unauthorized vehicle or by an unauthorized person;

right arrow

A parking permit application is falsified;

right arrow

A counterfeit, modified, lost/stolen permit or gate card is used; or

right arrow

PERMITS-GENERAL
