Accessible Parking

Approval for temporary or permanent closer-in parking or transportation assignments will be based on a review of medical documentation that verifies the existence of a temporary or permanent ambulatory impairment.

If approval is granted, you will receive a mobility accommodation in accordance with the University of Rochester’s Equal Opportunity Compliance Office and Department of Transportation and Logistics policies.

If you are approved to park in a lot close to your destination or in a disability parking area, a temporary permit will be issued. Once the eligibility period for the temporary parking assignment expires, you are required to return to your original parking assignment.

If you are requesting authorization to park in a University-designated disability parking space, it is your responsibility to obtain a handicapped parking permit through your local municipality.

Only individuals with both a handicapped parking permit and a parking permit from the Department of Transportation and Logistics will be permitted to park in handicapped-designated spaces. Failure to display both permits may result in a parking citation.

The University of Rochester offers on-campus transportation for enrolled students who require disability transportation while on campus. Any student with a permanent or temporary disability must follow the same assessment process outlined above for disability parking.

To request student transportation assistance, please complete the Application for Student Transportation Assistance.

Once it is determined that a student requires on-campus transportation, they will be contacted to arrange pick-up and drop-off at designated stops and times.
