Parking Permits

Display of Permits

A valid permit is either an unexpired semester parking or a daily parking pass authorized by the Transportation and Parking Office and issued to an employee or student of Lewis & Clark, properly registered and displayed in accordance with these rules and regulations. During the fall and spring semesters, Monday through Friday, from 7 am to 7 pm, all vehicles parked on campus must display a valid permit. During summer sessions, parking permits are required for the South Campus and Law School reserved staff parking area. Expired permits must be removed when replaced with a current permit. Failure to display a valid parking permit is a violation. There is no charge for parking after 7 pm on weekdays nor on weekends.

The Lewis & Clark semester parking permit is designed to adhere to a vehicle’s lower driver side windshield. Daily parking passes are to be displayed so that they are readily visible on the dashboard of the driver’s side of the vehicle. Failure to properly display a semester parking permit or a daily parking pass is a violation.

Permit Cancellation, Denial, or Nonrenewal

The College may revoke a parking permit or refuse to issue a parking permit without prior notice. Parking permits may be revoked, denied, or not renewed for nonpayment of parking fines, multiple violations, or obtaining a permit by false information.

Parking Fees and Refunds

Lewis & Clark’s Board of Trustees approves a schedule of parking fees each year as part of the budget process.

• Payment Methods. Employees may purchase semester parking permits by authorizing monthly payroll deductions. Students must pay for their semester permits in full upon issue.
• Refunds. Students who have purchased a semester parking permit may return it for a refund for the unused portion of the semester.

Daily parking permits are valid for one day only. Daily permits must be visibly displayed on the driver’s side of the vehicle dashboard. First year undergraduate students are not permitted to purchase daily parking permits.
• Visitor Parking Permits. All visitors, including alumni and others in personal vehicles, may purchase visitor permits from automated dispensing machines in the upper Griswold, lower Griswold, Law, and Graduate School parking lots. Individuals attending special events or conferences at the College during regulated hours are also required to purchase a visitor-parking permit.

Carpool permits

Lewis & Clark encourages carpooling to reduce the number of single-occupancy vehicles on campus. Those who register for carpool permits with the Office of Transportation and Parking will pay discounted parking fees on campus and will be entitled to park in specially reserved spaces.

In the spring of 2011 a group of students approached the Transportation Parking Advisory Committee to request a change in the Carpool Regulation. The students wanted more flexibility when carpooling. The carpool regulations were changed so that now each (up to two) carpool participants will purchase their own parking pass. A valid carpool will be a vehicle displaying two valid carpool permits (the driver’s and the rider’s). When not carpooling, a valid day pass must be displayed. Each person purchasing a carpool pass will receive five complimentary day passes to be used when not carpooling.

 • Carpool definition. Two or more Lewis & Clark community members who are qualified under the carpool registration process with the Office of Transportation and Parking constitute a valid campus carpool. Because the first two carpool participants must buy their own pass, a carpool vehicle must display two valid carpool permits. Students who are residents of the campus are not eligible for a carpool parking permit.

• Permit procedures. One carpool permit will be issued to each carpool participant. All vehicles used by the carpool must be registered.

• Multiple vehicles. If persons registered in one carpool have the use of more than one vehicle, each of which is previously registered with the college, the permit may be used on either registered vehicle.

• Changes in carpool status. It is mandatory that changes in carpool status be reported to the Office of Transportation and Parking. Changes in status include, but are not limited to changing residences, a change in carpool members, or a change of carpool vehicles.

• Monitoring. Transportation and Parking staff monitor carpools. The Office of Transportation and Parking may suspend carpool privileges for violation of carpool rules. The success of the carpooling program depends on the integrity of its participants. The Office of Transportation and Parking will protect the anonymity of persons reporting violations of carpool regulations. Any carpool participant found to be in violation of this section will be subject to parking citations with associated fines.

Disabled Persons’ Permits

Disabled parking spaces are provided in College parking lots in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Accessible parking spaces shall be designated as reserved by a sign showing the symbol of accessibility. Spaces for vans shall have an additional “Van-Accessible” sign mounted below the symbol of accessibility. Vehicles parking in disabled parking spaces must display official state issued disabled persons’ parking permits. Permission must be obtained from the Lewis & Clark ADA Coordinator to park, for reasons of physical disability, in any areas of the campus not designated for either daily permit or disabled persons parking. Visitors, students, faculty, and staff who park on the campus with a state issued disabled person’s parking permit must also obtain and display a current, valid daily parking pass or a semester parking pass during hours of enforcement.

Parking Areas Reserved for Law Students:

Certain parking spaces are reserved in the Law School parking lot for 3rd/4th year Law Students from 7 am to 7 pm, Monday through Friday. The upper terrace of the Upper Griswold parking lot is reserved for Law Student permit parking from 7 am to 2 pm Monday through Friday. The Upper Griswold area is reserved for vehicles that display either 3rd /4th year or 1st/2nd year law student parking permits. Staff, CAS Students, Graduate Students, and visitors are not permitted to park in the areas reserved for Law Student parking.

Law Students who do not purchase a semester/annual pass and park in reserved Law Student parking can avoid receiving a ‘parking in a reserved space’ violation by registering their vehicle with the College.

Staff Parking Permits

Staff permit parking areas are reserved by pavement markings and/or posted signs. Vehicles with staff permits may also park in unreserved parking spaces. Vehicles with staff permits are not permitted to park in service areas, loading zones, and spaces reserved for other uses.

Reserved Parking Permits

Designated parking spaces for the President of Lewis & Clark and selected Officers of the College are reserved at all times.
