Under the authority delegated to Parking and Transportation Services by the President, no individual or department other than Parking and Transportation Services may grant parking privileges on campus. All parking permits and access cards issued to users of the parking system remain the property of the University.

Every vehicle, including those with specialized license plates, not otherwise exempt, which occupies a non-metered parking space designed for an automobile must display a valid permit. Commercially licensed vehicles are not required to display parking permits when engaged in the act of loading and unloading within a designated loading zone but cannot park in a loading zone for more than 15minutes.

Parking permits are the property of the University, are non-transferable (for use by the registered permit holder only) and may not be resold. Violations of these regulations will result in possible legal and/or disciplinary action and restitution as applicable. Please park in marked stalls between the lines.

  • Refuse issuance of a parking permit.

Parking privileges are granted only for the purpose of transportation to and from campus. The garaging of vehicles is prohibited except for residence hall tenants with the appropriate permit to park long-term in selected residence hall areas.

When any vehicle is found and it is known to have been issued five or more notices of parking violation, to which the owner or person in control of the vehicle has not responded within 21 calendar days of citation issuance or 14 calendar days of the mailing notice, the vehicle may be impounded until that person furnishes to the impounding law enforcement agency evidence of their identity, an address within this state at which they can be located, and satisfactory evidence that the bail has been deposited for all notices of parking violations for the vehicle. This vehicle code section applies to all streets, parking lots and structures on the Cal Poly Pomona campus. (Vehicle Code 22651) Vehicle owner is liable for towing, storage, and release fees.

Storage Impound hearings are provided by Parking and Transportation pursuant to CVC 22852. The purpose of the hearing is only to determine if the officer had lawful authority to store or impound the vehicle. This does not apply to abandoned vehicles removed pursuant to Section 22669 that are determined by the public agency to have an estimated value of five hundred dollars ($500) or less. Post storage hearings are conducted within 48 hours of the request, excluding weekends and holidays.

To Request a hearing:

Per California Vehicle Code section 22852(a), a post storage hearing may be requested by the vehicle’s registered or legal owners or their agents to determine the validity of the storage or impound within ten (10) days of the date of the impound.

Violation of parking regulations subject an individual to disciplinary and legal action, including but not limited to repossession of parking permit, imposing fines, withholding of refunds, and revocation of parking privileges. Student disciplinary cases may be referred to Judicial Affairs and employees to the appropriate Department Chairperson or Administrative Officer.

Permits are non transferable in any manner. Resale is prohibited and will subject both buyer and seller to disciplinary action. An unauthorized use of a parking permit by an individual not registered with the Cashier’s Office and Parking and Transportation Services may result in cancellation of parking privileges. Falsification of information on parking applications may result in the recall or cancellation of a parking permit, and may also subject the individual to disciplinary action.

Possession and/or use of a lost, stolen, duplicated or voided parking permit, and counterfeiting, duplicating, or altering of a permit is cause for restitution, disciplinary, and legal action.
