Handicap Parking

• Those wishing to use the designated Handicapped parking spaces are required to have both a state issued Handicap permit/license plate assigned to them and a valid university parking permit.

• A valid permit is purchased at Parking & Transportation Services through eParking or at one of the yellow visitor paystations located throughout the campus.

• Only the individual to whom the handicapped permit/plate is issued to may use a handicap parking space.

• If you are transporting an individual who is authorized to use a handicap permit/plate, the individual must be in the vehicle at the time it is parked.  If the person is dropped off at another location, you may not park in a handicap space.

• Proof of Handicap Certification must be presented to law enforcement or University officials upon request.

• Handicap Parking Spaces (PDF) are located in all garages and lots on campus.

• Handicap permits/license plates do not allow for free parking on the Towson University campus.

• Handicap Parking Regulations (PDF) are strictly enforced 24/7.  Vehicles parked illegally in handicap spaces are subject to citation and towing at the owner's expense.

• Certified Handicap Permit Holders may park at a stand-alone meter up to two time frames without additional cost if all handicap spaces are filled.

• Register Your Handicap Placard/License Plate:  Students, faculty and staff members are strongly encouraged to register their handicap permits/license plates with Parking & Transportation Services.  This informs university staff that the vehicle is registered to a driver who possesses the valid credentials to park in handicap restricted parking spaces.  Registration of handicapped status with Towson University can help avoid inaccurate vehicle citations.  Handicap Placard/Registration Form (PDF)
