Proper Parking

All vehicles shall park facing in so the vehicle’s license plate may be easily viewed from the drive lane and within all marked parking stall lines.

All vehicles must enter and exit a gated facility with their credential or via payment. Vehicles that attempt to enter or exit the parking structure without authorization or payment will be considered tailgating and subject to sanctions and impoundment. Only vehicles with resident hall parking permits may park overnight. Vehicles with other permit types cannot park overnight. 

Campus malls and sidewalks are university-owned property where non-pedestrian devices or vehicles are permitted for operation or parking. Non-university-owned motorized vehicles must display PTS-issued mall access permits to access and park on any designated campus mall or sidewalk. Vehicles left unattended without proper permits will be cited and may immediately be towed or relocated. Tempe campus Walk-only zone restrictions can be found on the Walk-only zones webpage. 

Loading zones are authorized for use by any vehicle for a maximum of 20 minutes. Commercial loading zones are available only to marked delivery vehicles for up to 20 minutes unless a vendor or extended loading zone pass is displayed.

All vehicles must be parked within the stall and must not obstruct access to the drive lane or garage ramp. Vehicles extending into the stall lines, encroaching into the drive lane or preventing other vehicles from adequately maneuvering within the parking facility may be cited. These vehicles must park on the rooftops of parking garages and structures.

Height: Please note that most parking facilities' ceiling is 7'7" or lower and may not be able to accommodate some lifted vehicles or vehicles with racks or other devices on the roof.  The Packard Drive South and Fulton Center Garage can accommodate vehicles up to 8'2" on the first floor.

Compact Spaces: Vehicles parking in spaces marked Compact Vehicle must fit entirely within the parking space and cannot encroach into the drive lane for traffic safety.

Garage Ramps and End of the Aisle: Vehicles that are longer than 18' or have devices on the rear of the vehicle that extend beyond 18' and cause a safety concern for vehicular traffic will be asked to relocate to other garage areas and noted on their parking account. If vehicles continue to park in this manner, they may be subject to enforcement per the PTS Rules and Regulations.

• Visitor responsibility: Arizona State University welcomes visitors to the campus. Residence hall visitors can park at one of the visitor lots or structures in proximity to the respective residence hall, subject to space availability on the Downtown Phoenix, Polytechnic, Tempe and West Valley campuses. Visitors who violate ASU regulations are subject to citation, and visitors who habitually violate these regulations are subject to vehicle impoundment. Overnight parking is not permitted.
• Visitor lots: Visitors to any ASU campus can park at one of the attended parking lots or structures or pay-by-space lots. No overnight parking is permitted in most of these areas unless posted signs state otherwise. See posted rates and enforcement hours at each location or view the daily and hourly webpages.

Red curbs throughout campus are restricted at all times and are considered emergency lanes for emergency service vehicles. Parking along any portion of a red curb is prohibited at all times. Vehicles left unattended will be cited and may be immediately towed or relocated. Emergency lanes must be maintained at all times on campus malls and sidewalks, vehicles left unattended in these lanes will be cited and may be immediately towed or relocated.

Service vehicle spaces are authorized for use by any university-owned or leased vehicle displaying a current Service Vehicle permit. Some areas are designated for golf carts only, and carts must display a current service vehicle or vendor golf cart permit. Day golf cart use-only spaces do not allow for overnight parking; golf carts parked in these spaces between 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. are subject to citation and may be relocated.

If a vehicle cover is used, the owner has the responsibility of ensuring that the license plate number of the vehicle is displayed and visible. The cover must also be easily raised to view the permit. Permits can also be affixed to car cover itself by adhesive or stitching, or the lock of the cover as long as it is visible.
