All parking permit holders will be assigned a “parking zone” that may include multiple parking lot assignments. Restricted parking areas will require a specific lot assignment in addition to a “parking zone.” Anyone residing in University residential housing units, apartments and/or affiliated housing will need their housing designation on their permit.

Hangtag
• One hangtag should be used for all registered vehicles.
• Indicates parking zone and a lot assignment.
• Must be hung from the vehicle’s rearview mirror with assignment and expiration date visible through the vehicle windshield.
• You are encouraged to remove your hangtag while driving

Decal
• Must match your hangtag and confirms the vehicle is registered.
• One decal is provided for each vehicle registered and should be permanently affixed to the rear passenger window on the driver side of the vehicle.

Anyone with a compelling reason to park in this area must send an e-mail request to parking@princeton.edu or come into our office. Telephone requests will not be accepted.

Drop-offs or Pick-ups:
Four-way flashers should be used for any drop-off or pick-up and should be limited to 15 minutes. Access to the main campus requires a special pass, properly displayed on the dashboard, for the designated area and time limitations must be respected. Access to the main campus is allowed after 5 pm at the kiosk access officer’s discretion.

POD Parking
As Portable Storage Units are becoming more and more popular as a means of transporting your personal belongings from residence to residence, the University has recognized that it is necessary to set guidelines to ensure that the units do not cause a disruption to vehicle parking.
• All units MUST be registered through T&PS with the unit registration number.
• Any unit that is not registered will be removed from the property at the renter’s expense.
• The unit may not be on site for more than 5 days.
• You must have the unit dropped in the designated area set aside for the units.
• There are a limited number of spaces and they will be distributed on a first come first serve basis.
• If a unit is dropped in an unapproved location or for a period of time longer than 5 days the renter will receive a citation in the amount of $50 from Public Safety.

Medical Parking Needs:
Transportation & Parking Services will attempt to accommodate medical parking needs for employees who can substantiate their condition by either a state-issued handicapped (HC) registration or a fax from McCosh Health Center. Use of a HC parking space on campus is intended for Princeton University (PU) employees only. Vehicles must display a valid PU parking permit along with a HC license plate or HC placard.

Visitors with HC parking needs, please see Visitor Parking: http://www.princeton.edu/main/visiting/aroundcampus/parking
