Permit holders of the assigned garage/lot will receive notifications via their Arizona email addresses regarding relocation parking areas during these times. 

Permit Privileges 

Permits grant parking privileges solely in designated areas specified in the permit type description, unless posted signage directs otherwise. They do not guarantee a parking space but allow parking when a legal space is available. Your permit may be linked to multiple vehicles, but only one vehicle can be parked on campus using your parking permit at any given time. It is the permit holder's responsibility to maintain current vehicle information. Whether the permit is linked to your license plate (Permit by License Plate) or issued as a physical permit, current vehicle information is required to keep the permit valid.  

Permit Does Not Cover 

• Hourly parking spaces: Separate payment is required. Permits do not cover the parking fees for these areas.
• Special Event Parking: Permits do not provide coverage for special events. Permit holders should pay attention to both temporary and permanent signage displaying parking instructions.
• Parking Issues: For assistance and to potentially avoid a citation, permit holders must contact dispatch at (520) 621-1108 for any parking-related problems. A permit holder cannot park in an area for which they do not possess the proper permit.

Prohibited Use 

Permits for University of Arizona departments, University state vehicles, contractors, and vendors cannot be used for personal parking. Violations may result in permit revocation. If a task requires more than a two-hour period, contact dispatch at (520) 621-1108 to inform them of the extended time needed.

It is the responsibility of all individuals who bring a vehicle to campus to read and fully understand these regulations. This is without respect for whether the individual possesses a parking permit. Lack of knowledge of these regulations does not excuse violations and will not relieve the violator of responsibility for citations. 

Signs located at the entrance to campus parking areas indicate the type of permit required, the hours of control and special regulations. Vehicles must be parked ONLY where spaces have been designated and within a parking space. There may be conflicts among these regulations or map designations and on-site signs that specify parking instructions. In those instances, the on-site signs always take precedent. Where there are multiple restricted spaces together, these may be depicted by signs at the beginning and end of the restricted area. Drivers should be alert to both temporary and permanent signage displaying parking instructions, including hourly pay parking spaces that are covered, bagged, or blocked with cones or other barricade equipment. 

A legal parking space is designated by two white stall lines in paved areas, by concrete bumper blocks or wheel stops in unpaved lots (vehicles must be parked perpendicular to concrete bumper block or wheel stop), or by signs for parallel parking. 

When vehicle tires are parked on white stall lines, it is the discretion of the Parking Service Officer to issue a citation for Over the Line violation when it prevents a driver or passenger in the adjacent vehicle from safely entering or exiting their parked vehicle. 

1. Permit holders shall be held responsible for citations that are issued to any vehicle displaying or registered to their permit without regard to who is operating the vehicle displaying the permit.
2. The registered owner or primary driver of any vehicle brought to the campus is responsible for any citations issued to the vehicle. It is the responsibility of the registered owner to notify Parking & Transportation Services immediately if the vehicle is stolen or if it is sold to another party.
3. When it is determined that a University of Arizona employee or student has the same address or last name as the registered owner of a vehicle with outstanding citations, a review will be performed to determine who is the responsible party.
4. Based upon the information obtained from the University of Arizona and the State Department of Motor Vehicles, the University of Arizona affiliated employee or student may be held responsible for those citations, rather than the registered owner.
5. Drivers of State/Federal vehicles are responsible for knowing and abiding by all federal, state, local and University motor vehicles, and traffic regulations. Drivers of State/Federal vehicles will be held individually responsible for parking citations. Departments leasing or owning vehicles may also be held responsible if the individual driver responsible for a particular citation cannot be determined.
6. Citations received while conducting official business for a person’s department are the responsibility of the operator of the vehicle.

Motorcycles, mopeds, and motor driven cycles must park only in areas designated for motorcycles, except for hourly pay parking spaces or areas pre-approved by the Executive Director of Parking & Transportation Services. Where motorcycle spaces are individually marked, only one motorcycle is permitted per space. If there is more than one motorcycle parked in the space, all shall be cited. Motorcycles are prohibited from parking/operating in bicycle parking areas or in garages at all times, except for the dedicated motorcycle parking area located on the south side of the Main Gate garage and the west side of the Park Avenue and Sixth Street garages. Vehicles are always prohibited from parking in motorcycle parking spaces. This section excludes autocycles which are considered vehicles for the purpose of these regulations.

When any vehicle is determined to be in violation of Campus Parking and Traffic Regulations, it is subject to citation, impoundment or immobilization, or any combination, at the owner’s expense. In addition, vehicles may be impounded or immobilized based on three or more unpaid/past due citations even if the vehicle is legally parked. Motor vehicles will be released to the registered owner or their duly authorized agent only after all the following conditions are met: 

1. All outstanding citations and impoundment fees are paid.
2. A picture I.D. is presented.
3. A parking permit is relinquished if requested by a Parking & Transportation Services official.

During non-business hours, Parking & Transportation Services will release vehicles only after all outstanding citations and a non-refundable administrative fee are paid.

The University of Arizona assumes no responsibility for the care and protection of any bicycle, vehicle, or its content(s) any time it is on University-owned or leased property, or when the vehicle is impounded or immobilized. 

1. Parking a vehicle in an area for authorized permit holders only without displaying a current University of Arizona parking permit or License Plate linked to the permit for that area.
2. Displaying a permit that is no longer current and valid.
3. Failure to clearly display a current University of Arizona permit or displaying the permit in such a manner that parking personnel cannot read the permit type, expiration dates and permit number.
4. Parking in an area not specifically authorized by the permit being displayed or associated with the license plate.
5. The driver of a motor vehicle may not park in a garage or lot/zone space in such a manner that prevents parking service officers from using license plate reading (LPR) technology for enforcement, unless in an area posted as Back-In only. This regulation is enforced 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A good rule of thumb is to pull vehicle into an authorized space with rear license plate facing out towards the driving lane to ensure the license plate is visible and readable to the LPR vehicle.

All permit holders are required to link their license plate to their permit in the Parking Account Portal. 

Parking in No Parking Areas 

1. Parking a vehicle outside a legal space or parking in an area not authorized for parking, to include crosshatched area or red bumper block. Vehicles must be parked between two stall lines in paved areas or by signs authorizing parallel parking or by parking perpendicular to bumper blocks in paved or unpaved lots.
2. Parking in an area not designated as a legal space(s) or signed as “No Parking.”
3. Parking in such a manner as to obstruct areas necessary for vehicular or pedestrian movement (e.g., thoroughfares, driveways, pedestrian walkways).
4. Parking a vehicle on a marked bicycle path or in such a manner as to obstruct bicycle traffic.
5. Parking a vehicle on a landscaped area(s) (e.g., gravel, dirt, or lawn).
6. Parking a vehicle in such a manner as to obstruct trash collection areas.
7. Parking in a building, on sidewalks, malls or other areas not specifically designated for parking.
8. Parking a vehicle on a street against the direction of traffic flow or in an aisle in a parking garage or surface lot.
9. Parking an oversized vehicle/SUV, Truck or Van in a compact car space or a space designated for passenger cars only, resulting in vehicle extending beyond the stall lines and/or creating a safety hazard.
10. Vehicle parking in a space designated as Motorcycle Only.
11. Motorcycle, moped, or motor driven cycle parking in a parking garage.

Any type of falsification or improper use of a University of Arizona parking permit or the issuance of six or more citations, whether paid or unpaid, within a fiscal year may be cause for revocation or suspension of parking privileges for any affiliated individual. Attempting to park or allowing others to park in parking garages without payment and any failure to follow posted traffic patterns may result in the suspension or revocation of campus parking privileges. The Executive Director of Parking & Transportation Services reserves the right to make the decision regarding suspension or revocation in these instances. 

Unless otherwise directed by Parking & Transportation Service personnel or a police officer, the driver of a vehicle shall obey the instructions of an official traffic control device applicable to the driver that is placed in accordance with University of Arizona policy and the rules and regulations of Parking & Transportation Services.

A motorized bicycle that does not have pedal-assisted power shall be considered a Motor Driven Cycle. An electric bicycle (e-bike, eBike,) is a motorized bicycle with an integrated rechargeable battery that operates an electric motor. The  e-bike uses throttle control to propel or assist the rider's pedal-power. The e-bike must have pedals and retain the ability to be pedaled by the rider and is therefore not an electric motorcycle.

• A motorized/electric bicycle shall adhere to all the regulations as set forth herein while being operated on the University of Arizona campus.
• A motorized/electric bicycle utilizing any campus bike lane/path/route, or any campus street may not exceed 20 mph.
• To assure the safety of the campus community, the operation, storage, or abandonment of any motorized/electric bike owned by a shared-use mobility company is prohibited, unless expressly approved by the University. Proper vetting and review of such programs by the University is a necessary step to ensure that the operators regularly inspect and maintain the safety of the rental bikes, have responsible and sustainable business practices, and are committed to comply with University processes and policies.

1. The operator must be licensed (Class D) and the vehicle registered and insured.
2. For the purpose of these regulations, mopeds are considered Motor Driven Cycles and subject to Section V.5.

9. Proper vetting and review of shared-used mobility programs is required by the University prior to operating on campus.
10. If any persons or property are damaged or injured from the use of electric scooters owned by a shared-use mobility company, the University of Arizona would seek to hold the shared-use mobility company responsible to the fullest extent possible, as such damage or injury would be related to use of an unauthorized vehicle on campus.

1. Appeal submitted by appellant within 14 days of citation issuance.
2. Adjudication Period: Once an appeal is filed, the case enters the adjudication process. Adjudication involves a thorough review of the facts and evidence presented, as well as the application of rules and regulations. A neutral Appeals Officer conducts this review. Allow ten business days for the Appeals Officer to review the appeal and email the Appeals Decision.
3. Appeals Decision: The decision reached during the adjudication process may either uphold, reverse, or adjust the original citation fine. 

If the decision from the First-Level appeal to pay the fine has been upheld and the appellant has new information to share, they have the chance to request a Second-Level Hearing. This allows individuals to discuss their case in person with an Appeal’s Officer. To request this hearing, you must do so within five calendar days of receiving the Appeals Decision email. Failure to request a second level within five calendar days waives the right to any further review of the citation.

Steps To Request A Second Level Hearing

1. Provide an appeals retainer equivalent to the citation amount.

• Non-applicable for students whose citation was transferred to the bursar account.  For those students, email transportation@arizona.edu to request a Second-Level hearing within five calendar days.

2. Make the payment by either calling (520) 626-7275 or visiting our office located at 1117 E. 6th Street, Tucson, Arizona 85721
3. Inform the Customer Service Representative that this payment serves as the appeals retainer.
4. A staff member from the Appeals Unit will contact the individual to schedule the hearing.
5. If the appeal’s decision is upheld, the retainer will cover the fine amount. If it is overturned, a refund or adjustment of the retainer will be issued.  Decision will be emailed to appellant. 

If the decision from the second-level hearing is upheld, individuals have the option to have their case heard by a Parking Hearing Board. This board is made up of University employees and student representatives who are independent of Parking & Transportation Services. Their primary responsibility is to ensure an impartial hearing for all appeals. The board meets two times within an academic year, once in the fall semester and once in the spring semester.

Steps to Request a Third-Level Hearing

1. Contact the Parking & Transportation Services Administrative Unit at (520) 621-3550 to schedule a hearing date within five calendar days from the date of the second-level decision email.
2. Citing Officer Attendance: Individuals may request the presence of the citing officer for examination purposes.
3. Decision will be emailed to appellant.

Please be aware that failing to attend any of these proceedings when an appearance is requested or required will result in the waiver of any further appeals and forfeiture of the retainer.

Any person who has received a final ruling from The University of Arizona Parking Hearing Board may have that ruling reviewed by the Superior Court of Pima County in accordance with the provisions of the Administrative Review Act, Title 12, Chapter 7, Article 6, and Arizona Revised Statutes. As provided by that act, the appellant must file the complaint within thirty-five calendar days of the Parking Hearing Board’s decision. There is a filing fee assessed by the court system for this process.

If a person has a past due debt and/or outstanding returned checks at the University, the following billing and collection actions may be taken if applicable: 

1. Impoundment of vehicle
2. Encumbrance of student records, transcripts, and diploma
3. Cancellation of class enrollment
4. Referral to the Dean of Students for disciplinary action
5. A report of non-payment may be sent to the appropriate Dean's, Department Head's or
6. Collection by State of Arizona Debt Set-Off Program
7. Referral to a collection agency and reported to a credit bureau

No specific order or priority of the foregoing actions is implied or required. If you fail to pay on time and The University of Arizona Parking & Transportation Services refers your account(s) to a third party for collection, a collection fee of 33.3% or the maximum allowed by law will be added to the outstanding balance. 

Under Arizona law there is no statute of limitations on unpaid parking citations. Therefore, citations remaining unpaid shall be subject to collection, regardless of the date of the citation. 

Citations are physically placed on a vehicle. Moreover, a citation notice is sent via email. If there is no email associated with the customer's account, a physical letter will be mailed to the address on file. Customers are continuously notified throughout the collections process, with deadline dates provided to avoid late fees and collection fees. 

If a customer cannot pay for parking when exiting a garage, they can request an "IOU" from a Parking Service Officer. An IOU is a non-violation citation that charges a flat rate of $16 per day, as documented by the cameras at the gates. Customers have fourteen (14) calendar days to pay the IOU through their Parking Account Portal, under the Citation section. A late fee will be applied if the IOU is not paid within this period. To request an IOU, customers can:

• Call Dispatch at (520) 621-1108
• Press the assistance button at the entry/exit gate
• Ask a Wildcat Ambassador who monitors the garages
