Policy and Regulations
Parking rules and regulations are in
effect 24 hours every day. Vehicles parked in violation of any of the
following rules are subject to ticketing and towing at the owner's
expense. Please read all signs posted at lot entrances.
1. All vehicles parked within
jurisdictional areas must be registered with the Office of Parking
Commuter Services and display a valid permit. Parking on University
property is a privilege, which may be withdrawn for noncompliance
with regulations.
2. While parking on University lots,
please be sure to park only within marked stalls. A summons may be
issued for parking outside of marked stalls or for "creating your own
space". Absence of a marked stall indicates "no parking". When a
legitimate parking space is unavailable, try an alternate lot.
3. The fact that a person parks in
violation of any rule and does not receive a citation does not mean
that the rule is not in effect.
4. All signs and markings are in the
interests of parking control and safety, and must be obeyed under
penalty of citation and/or towing at owner’s expense. Removal or
damage of such signs or markings is illegal; perpetrators are subject
to arrest and prosecution. Vehicles parked in NO PARKING ZONES are
subject to ticketing/towing. NO PARKING ZONES include yellow-curbed
areas, driveways, sidewalks, handicapped ramps, fire zones and other
designated areas.
5. The University reserves the right to
close any parking area or roadway for reasons of repair, safety, and
other instances as needed. Vehicles parked within such areas closed by
barricades, signs, or notifications are subject to towing at owner’s
expense.
6. Overnight parking on the Newark
Campus is restricted to campus residents with valid reserved parking
permits at Parking Deck I, located at 200 University Avenue. Violators
will be subject to towing at owner's expense.
7. Disabled vehicles not
reported to the University Police Department will be towed from
University property at the owner’s expense. Disabled vehicles
should not obstruct traffic or endanger safety and must be moved
within 24 hours. If parked beyond 24 hours without specific permission
from the Office of Parking and Commuter Services, the vehicle will
be towed.
8. Storage of a vehicle on
University property for personal reasons is prohibited. A vehicle
is in violation, despite permit display, if parked on University
property while its registrant/driver is engaged in non-University
business. No University property may be used as "park and ride"
for commuting by public transportation without the knowledge and
expressed consent of the Office of Parking and Commuter Services.
9. During extended recess
periods, owners may not use University parking lots for storage
of vehicles. Any exception requires approval from the Office
of Parking and Commuter Services.
10. Notes of explanation left on
vehicles to avoid citations will not be honored.
11. Restrictions in gated lots remain
in effect at all times, even when gate arms are in the "up" position
or in need of repair.
12. Parking in handicapped stalls
without proper vehicle ID is strictly prohibited at all times.
Violators will be cited and their vehicles towed. The fine for parking
in a handicapped space is currently $100.
13. Use of counterfeit or altered
permits is prohibited. Use of permits reported lost or stolen is
prohibited, even if used by the person to whom the permit was
originally issued. Your permit remains the property of Rutgers
University. If your vehicle is towed for use of a counterfeit or
altered permit, the counterfeit or altered permit will be retrieved
from your vehicle. Allowing another person to use your permit for the
expressed or non-expressed intention of providing parking, for which
they are not entitled, constitutes fraudulent use of permit and will
result in ticketing/towing and possible revocation of registrant's
parking privileges.
14. The vehicle registrant, regardless
of the driver or owner, assumes responsibility for all university
parking violations issued to a vehicle. Vehicles with excessive unpaid
tickets are subject to towing, without notice, at the owner's expense.
Campus parking privileges may also be revoked. Unpaid parking tickets
will result in denial of the right to register a vehicle to park on
campus the following year. In addition, holds may be placed on
records, transcripts, grades, and/or diplomas. Academic registration
may also be denied.
15. A PARKING PERMIT DOES NOT
GUARANTEE A SPECIFIC PARKING SPACE OR SPACE AVAILABILITY, AND PARKING
PRIVILEGES MAY BE MODIFIED OR PREEMPTED AS REQUIRED THROUGHOUT THE
YEAR.
The number of spaces on the Newark Campus is limited. Inability
to locate a legal parking space is not an acceptable excuse for
violating a parking regulation.
16. REGISTRATION FALSIFICATION
CONSTITUTES FRAUD PUNISHABLE BY FINE, PARKING PRIVELEGE REVOCATION,
AND/OR FORFEITURE OF ALL FEES PAID.
17. Parking privileges are determined
by category according to faculty, staff, student, or visitor status,
and by space availabilty. Lot assignments are provided at time of
registration. Parking management reserves the right to alter or
revoke permit assignments as the needs of the individual or the
University change.
The University assumes no responsibility for security of vehicles
or their contents while parked in areas of jurisdiction.
