To make sure that campus is accessible to all people, Parking and Transportation Services offers various programs to individuals with disabilities.

CONTRACT PARKING
For University students, staff, and faculty with a valid state-issued disability permit, contract parking is provided in a specific facility as soon as possible.

All contract holders pay the standard rate charged for their particular parking facility. Contract spaces are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

To apply for a state disability permit, contact your doctor's office. Your physician should provide you with a State of Minnesota disability permit application form. He or she will complete the form and give it back to you. The fastest way to process your application is to personally deliver it to the state office address. If you mail your application, the process can take between six to eight weeks. After you have received the state-issued disability permit, simply call or e-mail the Parking and Transportation Services office regarding a parking contract on campus.

PUBLIC PARKING
Designed to provide parking for anyone at any time, public parking on campus is available in two forms: hourly and daily.

Hourly rate facilities charge patrons by the hour. Rates vary by facility and the length of your visit. This option is a good choice for people who need short-term parking.

Daily rate facilities charge a flat fee for the entire day. These facilities are the best choice for people who need more than short-term parking.

Most parking facilities on campus have designated disability parking spaces. A State of Minnesota disability permit or license plate is required to use these spaces.

All patrons pay the standard rate charged in these parking facilities.

ON-STREET PARKING
On-street parking is a good choice for people who need short-term parking. Many streets on campus have designated disability parking spaces. A State of Minnesota disability permit or license plate is required to use these spaces, where disabled individuals can park for free for a maximum of three hours.

METERED PARKING
Meter parking is another good choice for people who need short-term parking. Disabled individuals are allowed to park for free at University meters for a maximum of three hours. A State of Minnesota disability permit or license plate must be displayed on the vehicle. After three hours, patrons must move their vehicle or pay the rate charged on the meter.
