Section IV: Parking Regulations

Vehicles may only be parked in spaces authorized for the permit, payment method, or parking designation associated with that vehicle. Parking is permitted only in designated parking spaces or areas identified by signs, pavement markings, maps, permit guidance, or other university communications.

Parking within a parking garage requires a valid garage permit, authorized access credential, payment of applicable parking fees or other authorization established by the university.

No person shall lend, transfer, sell, share, alter, or otherwise permit another individual to use a parking permit, parking credentials, access device, or other parking authorization issued to them, except as specifically authorized by university regulations or policy.

Vehicles may occupy a designated Loading Zone (LZ) for up to 15 minutes for the active unloading or loading of passengers, materials, or equipment. Once unloading has been completed, or the time limit has expired, the vehicle must be moved from the Loading Zone.

Accessible Parking (ADA) spaces are reserved for vehicles displaying a valid UT San Antonio Accessible Parking (ADA) permit. To obtain a university Accessible Parking (ADA) permit, individuals must appear in person at either the Downtown Campus Services Office or a cashier window at the Bauerle or Ximenes Garages, and present: (1) a valid government-issued driver's license; and (2) proof of eligibility in the form of the original state-issued accessible parking placard, a copy of the state-issued accessible parking placard registration or receipt, or a current vehicle registration reflecting issuance of a state-issued accessible license plate. Additional documentation may be required, as applicable.

To park in an Accessible Parking (ADA) space, a vehicle must display both:

1. A valid university Accessible Parking (ADA) permit; and
2. A valid state-issued Accessible Parking (ADA) placard or license plate recognized under applicable law.

Individuals parking in university parking facilities must comply with all applicable permit and payment requirements associated with the parking location. Accessible Parking (ADA) permit holders are eligible to park in designated Accessible Parking (ADA) spaces through the campus in accordance with the university parking regulations.

TEMPORARY DISABILITY PERMITS:
 A Temporary Accessible Parking (ADA) Permit may be issued to individuals with a temporary medical condition requiring accessible parking accommodations. Applicants must apply in person at either the Downtown Campus Services Office or a cashier window at the Bauerle or Ximenes Garages and provide documentation from their treating healthcare provider describing the medical condition and the anticipated duration of the accommodation.

Upon verification, Campus Services will issue a Temporary Accessible Parking (ADA) Permit for the period specified by the healthcare provider. Temporary permits are only valid on UT San Antonio campuses and do not confer accessible parking privileges outside of the university.

Veterans displaying qualifying specialty license plates recognized under applicable Texas law may be eligible for parking privileges established by the university.

To receive university veteran parking privileges, the veteran must register with Campus Services and provide any documentation required to verify eligibility. Once approved, eligible veterans are exempt from the payment of fees for university surface parking permits for which they quality and may receive additional parking privileges as established by university policy.

Veteran parking privileges apply only to the eligible veteran and may not be transferred to another individual operating the vehicle.

Complimentary permits issued under the program have no cash value, are not eligible for refunds, and may not be applied toward the purchase or upgrade of another parking permit.

University departments, colleges, divisions, recognized student organizations, and other university-affiliated groups sponsoring official visitors may request visitor parking accommodations through the university's established parking request process found on the parking website. Requests should be submitted sufficiently in advance to allow for coordination and approval by Campus Services.

Emergency vehicles are exempt from these regulations when operating in response to an emergency, performing official public safety duties, participating in authorized training activities, or otherwise engaged in activities necessary to protest life, safety, or property.

The university may deem a vehicle abandoned when it remains on university property beyond the period authorized by university regulations, permit conditions, or other university authorization. Abandoned vehicles may be immobilized, relocated, or removed from university property in accordance with applicable Texas law and university procedures.  

Short-term parking is available in designated university parking garages. Users must pay the applicable parking fee or utilize another authorized parking method as established by the university.

Short-term parking is available in designated surface spaces identified by signage, pavement markings, maps, or other university communications. Users must pay the applicable parking fee or utilize another authorized parking method as established by the university.
