Disability Permits and Transportation
- Both a U of I Disability permit (Temporary or Annual) and a valid State-issued Disability permit or Disability license plate are required to be displayed in all campus ADA marked spaces except after 5 p.m. on weekdays, weekends, academic breaks and on university holidays. During these times, ONLY a valid State-issued Disability permit or Disability license plate is required to be displayed in ADA marked spaces.
- In all hourly paid parking areas and posted timed spaces—at all times that payment is required or time limit is enforced—ONLY a State-issued Disability permit or Disability license plate is required to be displayed, and no time restriction applies. However, it is a violation of these regulations for a current university employee or student to park in a campus meter or timed space with only a State-issued Disability permit or Disability license plate in order to avoid the purchase of a university parking permit. See also APM 40.32.A.2.
- Both a U of I Disability permit (Temporary or Annual) and a valid State-issued Disability permit or Disability license plate are required to park in regular spaces in color parking lots when permits are required.
