Accessible Parking at UNM

As quoted from: The UNM Parking Regulations http://pats.unm.edu

"A state-issued handicapped parking placard [any state] or a temporary handicapped parking permit issued by Parking and Transportation Services is required to utilize UNM's handicapped parking spaces."
"When a designated handicapped parking space is unavailable, persons displaying these permits may park in any zone or metered parking space without payment." [ For FREE ]
"If a handicapped parking permit is displayed, the registered owner of the permit must be the driver of, or a passenger in, the vehicle."
"Parking and Transportation Services staff may request verification of permit ownership. Fraudulent use of handicapped parking will result in the highest possible penalty."
Please note: UNM Parking and Transportation Services could change the rules at any time. (1-29-03)

Explanation of Rules- You need a handicapped parking permit (from either the state government or UNM) to park at UNM, however that permit will allow you to park for FREE at meters, or almost anywhere else.

(Almost means: The permits are not valid at Restricted Areas (painted curbs) such as: fire zones (red curbs), safety zones (yellow curbs), or official government vehicle, service vehicle (green curbs), loading areas , wheelchair cuts, sidewalks, crosswalks, bike lanes, traffic lanes or reserved parking spaces).

Thus, any valid, current, disabled parking placard (state-issued or UNM-issued) will work at any UNM Parking Meter, or any UNM letter permit parking zone (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,K, M, L, Q, R, South Lot or Structure, or Turner Lot) anywhere on Main, North or South Campus.

Additionally, the G lot, Q Lot, South Lot, and T (Turner) Lot shuttles all feature wheelchair lifts.

And if a handicapped parking permit is displayed, the UNM parking meters are FREE, and so are the visitor parking lots by the UNM Bookstore (near Central Avenue at Stanford Dr NE.)

Please note: Zone X parking on Sigma Chi Rd NE & Mesa Vista Rd NE and the parking meters on the south side of Central Avenue SE are owned and operated by the City of Albuquerque, which has its own rules about disabled parking.

Please visit http://www.unm.edu/parking/ to buy a permit, appeal a ticket, print out a parking lot or shuttle bus route map. Remember that handicapped persons with permits park for FREE on UNM's campus.
