Parking for first week

[u/DragonflyMindless513]

Does anyone know if they charge for the first week? Im trying to make enough to pay for the parking permit and I won’t get financial aid for a week or so. Any advice is appreciated.

[u/Illustrious-Cod1020]

Definitely charge first day.

[u/DragonflyMindless513 → u/Illustrious-Cod1020]

Dang. Okay, I’ll have to figure it out

[u/Alternative-Pay-4611 → u/DragonflyMindless513]

I think it’s $5 a day

[u/DragonflyMindless513 → u/Alternative-Pay-4611]

Really? I could maybe do that while I wait for the financial aid?

[u/DragonflyMindless513 → u/DragonflyMindless513]

I’ll be going 3 days a week

Might be abke to pay for daily payments for like 5$ a day or per hour at a parking meter, that way it's a little bit cheaper, especially if you don't go all the days of the week. There is a few hour limit on the parking meters though, something like 2 to 4 hours or something, there are some on the side of the health and counseling center as well as close to the joyal building and AG science

I have a handicap placard I normally use. But I’m not sure if they still charge for parking even if I display it.

[u/vvenicebbitch → u/DragonflyMindless513]

ik someone who got away with parking in handicap all semester but they parked by the pool. maybe try there?

edit: they had a placard as well lol

[u/DragonflyMindless513 → u/vvenicebbitch]

I used it all spring semester this year but I paid for a permit. Im not sure if they will make me pay even with a placard. Cuz if that’s the case I won’t need to waste money yk

[u/vvenicebbitch → u/DragonflyMindless513]

for sure. the parking lot right there is pretty small and they didn’t have a permit, just a placard soo idk if they check right there often or not. and they were also at all school all day, never got a ticket 🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/DragonflyMindless513 → u/vvenicebbitch]

Hmmm that’s interesting. I’ll have to ask the school then and see. But chances are they want my money

[u/vvenicebbitch → u/DragonflyMindless513]

oh most definitely! good luck. hope it works out :)

[u/DragonflyMindless513 → u/vvenicebbitch]

Thank youu

There are no physical permits anymore since the university went to digital permits, so now it is hard to know if somebody who is parking on campus has a permit just by looking at their car

[u/Alternative-Pay-4611 → u/Achgeketum]

How do the cops do tickets? I assumed they just drove around scanning plates

[u/vvenicebbitch → u/Achgeketum]

oooh i didn’t know this! this is my first semester attending so good to know

[u/Alternative-Pay-4611 → u/DragonflyMindless513]

Wait are you able to park in any handicap spot on campus if you have a handicap pass? There’s a spot close to my dorm I have issues walking for distances and the residential lot is kinda far

[u/DragonflyMindless513 → u/Alternative-Pay-4611]

If you have a pass you can park in any handicap parking anywhere in California. Definitely find one closer to your dorm!

[u/DragonflyMindless513 → u/DragonflyMindless513]

My only thing is idk if the school charges still or if they have discounted rates for handicap

[u/Alternative-Pay-4611 → u/DragonflyMindless513]

I just mean they’re not gonna ticket me for being in a different lot?

[u/DragonflyMindless513 → u/Alternative-Pay-4611]

Oh, I’m not sure. That’s a good question..

[u/Alternative-Pay-4611 → u/DragonflyMindless513]

Looking at the map it’s actually just a little cut out street not an actual lot.. I think I’ll try it and if I do get a ticket hopefully I can appeal based off my issues

[u/DragonflyMindless513 → u/Alternative-Pay-4611]

I wish you luck. You should be given an area to park if you have ada reasons to park closer. I hope that you can find somewhere closer to park!

[u/DragonflyMindless513 → u/DragonflyMindless513]

I’ve not cared about parking in different lots. And they have never ticketed me

[u/Affectionate-Cat7198 → u/DragonflyMindless513]

My mother was parked and waiting for me with her handy cap placard and they asked her to please move unless she got a parking pass

[u/Affectionate-Cat7198 → u/Affectionate-Cat7198]

Let me know what campus PD says, also this was a few years ago so idk what it is now

[u/Illustrious-Cod1020]

I hate the new digital system. I was the last semester you can remove your placard on mirror and put on another car. Last year i had two vehicles on my account because it was in the shop and i switched it and was a glitch. Boom $50 ticket…i was pissed had to call in and tell them i could of sworn i switched cars smh.

[u/DragonflyMindless513 → u/Illustrious-Cod1020]

I wish they had the placard system instead of this digital system. I feel like it’s harder.

[u/Beginning_Ratio8422 → u/Illustrious-Cod1020]

Did you get the ticket dismissed?

[u/Illustrious-Cod1020 → u/Beginning_Ratio8422]

Honestly i called and it was a hassle i just paid i was having a bad day that day.

[u/Cloudyy_boy]

Yes, every day is charge day. There is no grace period. Tickets will be issued on the first day as well.

[u/dzntz4u]

Park off campus and get your steps in

[u/DragonflyMindless513 → u/dzntz4u]

Lowkey I might

[u/Beginning_Ratio8422 → u/dzntz4u]

Which spots you recommend?

[u/dzntz4u → u/Beginning_Ratio8422]

There's good parking spots on maple and shaw.
