Designated handicap parking spaces are for the exclusive use of vehicles displaying county-issued handicap hangtags or disabled license plates.
An ADA coordinator on staff with Transportation Services has been designated to
insure compliance with the nondiscrimination requirements contained in section 35.107
of the Department of Justice regulations. Information concerning the provisions
contained and the rights provided within the Americans with Disabilities Act are
available from the coordinator. Transportation Services is committed to providing
programs and services that do not discriminate on the basis of disability.

Visitors to the Texas A&M University campus are always welcome. Transportation Services has provided parking accommodations for disabled visitors in locations listed on our Visitor Parking page. The fee for parking in these areas is listed on the page as well as posted at the entrance to each parking facility. Other designated handicap parking spaces are for the exclusive use of vehicles displaying
county-issued handicap hangtags or disabled license plates.
If parking is not available in one of the visitor areas or if special arrangements are needed, please call Transportation Services at 979.862.PARK (7275). University affiliates who park on campus are required to purchase a permit, therefore, we ask visitors to refrain from parking in areas designated for faculty, staff and students, unless prior arrangements are made through Transportation Services. Violators are subject to ticketing and/or towing.
Temporary parking permits for surface lots are available in the Transportation Services office located at 108 Koldus and may be purchased for the day, week or month. Individuals who park in handicap spaces outside of visitor pay facilities must display from their rearview mirror the temporary 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 plus a TAMU parking permit.
The handicap hangtag or disabled license plate must be issued in the name of the disabled person utlizing the vehicle parked in a handicap space. Handicap placards, drivers license, identification card and similar information must be provided upon request by a uniformed Parking Services 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 PLUS a TAMU parking permit or paid visitor parking fee, 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.
University departments may make advance parking arrangements for the guests by contacting our Visitor Conference Coordinator at 979.862.2551. More department guest parking information
