III—Handicap
Parking
Convenient parking spaces designated for persons with disabilities are

A state issued handicap plate or permit is acceptable if it is
registered in the driver’s name and displayed with a valid ISU staff or
student permit. The ISU
handicap permit can be requested by the disabled person with medical
documentation. This documentation must include an expiration date so it
is possible to determine the length of time the permit will be needed.
Short-term handicap parking permits are also available with medical
documentation. *If you do
not have current documentation on file, please contact the Parking
Services office @ 812-237-8888. Under Indiana Code 5-16-9-5(b), any
person who knowingly parks in a parking space reserved for a person with
a physical disability while displaying a placard to which neither the
person nor the person’s passenger is entitled commits a Class C
infraction.
Handicap spaces, fire and service vehicle zones, and unloading/loading
zones (indicated by signs) will be strictly enforced at all times.
Students with disabilities can learn about and arrange for
auxiliary aids and services to meet their individual needs by contacting
the Student Academic Services Center at 237-2300 in Gillum Hall.
While ISU honors all valid handicap permits, staff and students
are required to purchase a permit to park in the lots between 7:00
a.m.-5:00 p.m.

20-12, ch. 3.5).
2. A parking
ticket issued by authorized Public Safety personnel for violations of
these rules must be presented to the Parking Services office at the
Public Safety Department within five working days (excluding weekends)
of the date issued. After five working days, tickets are processed and
billed to individual accounts through the Office of the Controller. Once
a ticket has been billed, Parking Services cannot accept payment.
3. The person in
whose name a parking permit is registered with Indiana State University
is held responsible for any parking ticket involving the vehicle whether
incurred by the registrant or the operator of the motor vehicle.
Therefore, these regulations should be made known to any other person
who may operate the vehicle with/without the permit displayed.
4. The operator
of a motor vehicle on campus shall observe these regulations and is held
responsible for all moving violations committed, whether the vehicle is
registered in the operator’s name or not.

state and city laws may, at the discretion of the Public Safety
Department, be prosecuted in state or city courts.

operated by faculty, staff, and students that display a parking permit
may park in areas designated as parking lots by signs posted for which
they have the appropriate permit.
7. A parked
vehicle which interferes with normal vehicular or pedestrian traffic may
be removed at the owner’s expense.
8. Any portion of a vehicle
parked in a restricted area constitutes a violation, i.e., handicap,
service vehicle, emergency, fire lane, yellow, and reserved parking. It
is not necessary to receive a warning notice before a ticket is issued.
Lack of a convenient space is not a valid excuse for parking in
violation of the regulations.

permitted only in authorized spaces marked by lines in the appropriate
zone designations. Vehicles
parked with tires touching or over the stall markers are subject to
ticketing.

permit.
