Handicapped Parking Reminder- Permit Required!
This is a reminder that parking spaces marked and reserved for vehicles with handicapped permits/plates on our campus are not to be occupied by vehicles without proper authorization. We understand that finding a spot can be challenging, but it’s even more challenging for someone who depends on having the accessibility of a handicapped spot. If you do have a handicapped permit, be sure it is properly displayed.
