Employees who require temporary accessible parking accommodations due to a medical condition may request a Temporary ADA Parking Permit (PDF) from the Office of Accessibility Services. This permit is designed to provide short-term access to designated accessible parking spaces on campus while recovering from an injury, surgery, or other medical necessity. The Department of Transportation and Parking Services does not gather or interpret doctor's notes.

To apply, employees must submit a request along with appropriate medical documentation. Permits are issued for a limited duration and are subject to review.

More About Temporary Parking Accommodations

One of the basic considerations in providing this accommodation is access to other reasonable transportation (for example: the Campus Area Transportation System) from your assigned parking area. Remember, accessible parking does not guarantee you a space close to your building. People often walk fewer steps when using the shuttle buses as they will pick you up at a lot and drop you closer to your destination.

The Office of Accessibility Services must receive both the Temporary ADA Parking Permit from the employee, and documentation of the disability from a medical professional in order to issue a recommendation to Transportation and Parking Services. 

The reviewer at the Office of Accessibility Services will review the application and documentation and will contact the employee within 72 hours with a decision. Sometimes, they may designate parking at appropriate and accessible (by campus shuttle or other means) spaces other than accessible spaces. Cases will be determined individually.
