Section 2: General Purposes and Authority

Except where otherwise specified in this document, authority has been granted to the governing authority of Utah State University (contained in Utah Code 53B-3-101 through 108) to regulate traffic and parking on the campus. By this authority, parking rules and regulations have been developed and are enforced to provide an orderly and equitable method of parking for those who visit, work or study at Utah State University. Displaying and use of any USU permit implies knowledge and acceptance of the USU Parking Regulations and Guidelines set forth in this document.

Section 3: Parking Permit Application

Each motor vehicle parked on University property must have a USU permit or pay a daily usage fee. Possessing a permit for a designated area does not necessarily ensure the availability of a parking space; however, adequate parking is available in overflow lots. The permit extends the right to park in a specified area when space is available until permit and/or time expires, please see Section 16 for restrictions. This permit is the property of USU and is intended for the use of the individual.

The following steps are necessary to complete the permit application:

1. Complete a parking application form either in person or online.
2. All outstanding citations must be cleared.
3. Present the completed forms and pay the appropriate fee at the Utah State University Parking and Transportation Services Office, 840 East 1250 North or online at parking.usu.edu.
4. Display the permit on the vehicle, clearly visible, readable, with the numbers facing forward and on the rear view mirror.

Section 4: Parking Permits

Student Housing

Occupants of campus residence halls are required to purchase a permit to park in the area designated for their respective residences. Resident permits are only valid when the student has a signed contract with Housing Services to live in that particular area. In the event that a student moves out of a resident hall, prior to their contract expiration, his/her resident parking permit must be returned to the parking office immediately and may be exchanged for a non-resident parking permit or a refund.

Faculty/Staff Parking

Any new faculty/staff member who wishes to park their vehicle on campus has the opportunity to purchase a Green permit, depending on their employment location. Faculty/staff parking assignments are also made for specific parking areas in closer proximity to their employment location. Faculty/staff members may contact the Parking Office or go online at parking.usu.edu to be placed on a waiting list for these specific areas: Big Blue Terrace, Gateway Parking Terrace, Purple, Red, Brown, Orange, Black, or Teal lots.

The following guidelines will be used when making parking assignments as space becomes available:

1. Disabled and medical
2. All other faculty or staff employees are equal on a seniority basis (based on service date).

Several times each academic year, the parking areas available are assessed to determine usage, and subsequent assignments are made accordingly.

People with Disabilities

Students, faculty, and staff needing accessible parking permits should contact their physician to complete any required disability certification documents.

Once certifications are obtained, individuals should contact either your state’s motor vehicle division or the Utah Division of Motor Vehicle to apply for a state-issued disability permit or license plate.

A USU issued parking permit is also required to park on campus, which will need to be obtained by visiting the Parking Office. Fee’s may apply.

Designated disability parking stalls are available in most lots on campus. Vehicles may park in these stalls, as well as all other regular parking stalls on campus by displaying a valid disability placard or license plate and a valid Utah State University parking permit. Parking in other designated reserved stalls or service stalls is not permitted. Disability parking in metered areas should be limited to no more than 2 hours due to the nature of short-term parking.

State-issued disability parking placards are for the exclusive use of the registered owner of the placard or for a driver while transporting a qualified disabled person.

Motorcycle

All motorcycles parked on campus must display a valid parking permit. To be valid, the permit must be affixed near the rear taillight. Faculty and staff with a faculty/staff motorcycle permit, may park their motorcycle in a vehicle stall within their assigned staff area. Students with motorcycle permits must use designated motorcycle parking.

Permit Restrictions

1. Transfer or assignment: Parking permits are not transferable to other individuals, except in official carpooling that is registered with USU Parking. Individuals may use their parking permits in any vehicle, as long as the registered permit holder is in the vehicle while parking. Any transfer, sale, or assignment to another individual is prohibited and may result in that person forfeiting their privilege of parking on campus.
2. Forging or fictitious permits: Any person who forges permits, dates, validations, or makes false representations concerning vehicle permit information, or permit eligibility shall have his or her campus parking privileges revoked at the discretion of the Parking Office and/or the Parking Committee.
3. Over Night parking restrictions: The term overnight refers to the time of 1:00 a.m. - 6:00 a.m. If faculty or staff need to park for more than three consecutive days, with a current permit, they must contact the Parking Office for a lot assignment. Those without a current faculty/staff parking permit or any student permit may purchase a permit at current day permit rate per 24 hour period, and Parking Services will designated the appropriate lot to use.
4. University Funds will not be accepted as payment for personal parking permits.

Procedure for Replacing Permits

In the event that a permit is lost or stolen, it must be reported immediately to the Parking Office. A replacement permit will be issued upon completion of a Lost/Stolen Permit Report. The first replacement permit is $5; however, subsequent replacement permits are assessed the cost of the original permit.

In the event that a permit which has been reported as lost/stolen is recovered, that permit must be returned to the Parking Office. Use of a lost or stolen permit by anyone, including the person who purchased the permit, will result in a minimum fine of $150 and the vehicle being impounded.

Section 5: Carpooling

This includes involving vehicles owned or operated by him or her, or in his or her custody and operated by anyone having express or implied permission to operate said vehicle. Parking citations on vehicles not registered with the Parking Office will be identified using state DMV files. The registered owner will be determined and all outstanding and future parking citations will be linked to the appropriate student, faculty/staff member or owner.

Operating Policies and Procedures

Number 525
Subject: Energy Conservation and Emissions Reduction Policy
Effective Date: July 1, 2012
Revision Date: July 1, 2011

525.1 Introduction

In January 2007 President Albrecht signed the American College and University President’s Climate Commitment. As a result, a Sustainability Council and Climate Action Plan were put in place for the purpose of transitioning USU to carbon neutrality by 2050. At the center of this effort is the need to reduce energy use, especially that which originates from burning fossil fuels.

There is potential for considerable energy conservation measures from behavioral change by employees, students, and campus visitors in conjunction with installing energy efficient technologies. Energy costs are a major component of the University’s operating budget; thus, energy conservation and efficiency measures can become major components of fiscal responsibility.

525.4 Idle-Free Campus

In order to reduce USU’s emissions of CO, CO2, NOx, and other exhaust components and to improve air quality on campus and in the local community, USU adopts the following at the Logan, Tooele, Vernal, Roosevelt, Brigham City, Price, and Blanding campuses:

1. Idling of gasoline and diesel powered vehicles shall be prohibited on campus, however,
2. Nothing in this policy shall be implemented in a punitive manner, through the issuing of citations, tickets, or fines, rather,
3. The idle-free initiative shall be implemented as an educational process.
4. Police and emergency vehicles shall be exempt from this policy.
5. Other vehicles that must use their engines to perform useful work while stationary (for example, concrete mixers that must keep their drums rotating to prevent concrete from solidifying and garbage trucks that must keep their engines running to compact trash) also are exempt from this policy while their engines are performing such tasks.

525.5 Exceptions

Exceptions to requirements of Policy 525 require the approval of the appropriate Dean or Vice President.
