Accessible Parking

Parking and Transportation Services is committed to serving members of the ASU community with disabilities and works closely with Student Accessibility and Inclusive Learning Services to ensure equal access and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. 

PTS offers several different types of disabled-accessible permits.

State-issued ADA placards do not take the place of ASU-issued accessible permits. State-issued ADA placards are valid in accessible visitor spaces. ASU-issued accessible permits are valid in many permit stalls on campus, as outlined below.

Employee and student permanent disability

Employees and students with a permanent disability, who show a valid permanent state placard or vehicle registration issued in the applicant's name, have the choice of purchasing an ASU accessible All-Access permit or obtaining a garage or lot-specific accessible permit.

or

A temporary state disability placard issued in the applicant’s name, and photo identification must be shown at the time of purchase.

Physician-authorized temporary disabled-accessible parking

Individuals must have a current ASU parking permit. Photo identification must be shown at the time of purchase. A medical doctor or the Student Health Center must provide the following information on either doctor’s office letterhead or a prescription form:

2. Medical reason for needing temporary accessible parking.
3. Inclusive dates of disability.
4. Specifically state that accessible parking is required — the term closer parking is not accepted.
