Permit hang tags provide access to campus parking garages. Each garage permit is valid only in the assigned garage and valid for one registered vehicle at a time.
Garage permit hang tags contains RFID antenna which communicate with the overhead gate readers. The message triggers the garage gates to raise and allow a vehicle to enter or exit the assigned garage,
Display the permit from the rearview mirror for best access by the gate readers. Remove any other RFID permits in the vehicle, including expired garage permits or permits for other businesses. Multiple RFID messages create errors in gate operations preventing the gate from opening.
If you pay to park in a campus garage that is not the garage you have a permit for, when you stop to pay at the exit, remove your permit hang tag from your mirror. Place it under your leg on the seat. If it is displayed, the reader will detect the permit from your garage and not open the gate.
Each permit provides access to one vehicle in the assigned garage. Readers track entrance and exit cycles for each vehicle. Using the permit for other vehicles creates an error status for your vehicle and may result in issuance of citation for “Misuse of Permit.” Gates will not respond to your next entrance or exit signal.
If you need assistance with vehicle service (flat tire, jump start, tow, etc.) do not use your permit to let your vehicle service enter. Push the intercom and follow the Dispatcher’s instructions.
If you have difficulty entering or exiting a parking garage, press the CALL intercom button for assistance.
Garages are video monitored and violators can receive tickets.
