Designated handicap parking spaces are for the exclusive use of vehicles displaying
county-issued handicap hangtags or disabled license plates.
Individuals who park in handicap spaces must display from their rearview mirror
their own valid TAMU parking permit AND county-issued handicap hangtag (or disabled
license plate affixed in the designated location on the vehicle). The TAMU permit
must be hanging closest to the windshield and the county-issued handicap hangtag
behind. Unauthorized parking in handicap parking spaces, in the access aisles between
two handicap spaces, or blocking handicap ramps is a violation for which persons
will be issued a $110 citation. Night privileges are not extended to handicap spaces
for vehicles without handicap designation.
Persons who park in handicap spaces must display their own valid TAMU parking permit,
and county-issued handicap hangtag or disabled license plate. The handicap hangtag
or disabled license plate must be issued in the name of the person displaying the
TAMU parking permit. Handicap placards, driver license, identification card and
similar information must be provided upon request by uniformed Parking Service Officer
or University Police Officer in order to demonstrate proof of eligibility for handicap
parking privileges.
With a county-issued handicap hangtag or disabled license plate, a person may park
in any available plainly marked legal space within the lot if all handicap spaces
in the assigned lot are occupied. (Map)
Companions who drive for handicapped individuals may utilize designated handicapped
parking spaces only in the lots where they are transporting the individual with
the disabling condition. It would be considered a violation of the parking regulations
for a companion to drop a disabled passenger at a building on one side of campus
and park in a handicap space on the other side of campus. Companions parking in
handicap spaces must display the handicapped individual's county-issued hangtag
or be driving the individual's vehicle with a handicapped license plate, in addition
to the disabled person's TAMU parking permit.
