Visitor Parking
Visitor parking spaces are specifically labeled as 'Visitor Parking.'

Parking in any other zone is prohibited. Only visitors (non-ASU employees and students) are allowed to utilize ‘Visitor’ designated spaces.

ADA-Accessible 
ADA-accessible parking spaces are marked in blue and identified by appropriate signage. Only individuals with valid, lawfully issued permits may park in these designated spaces. Using an ADA-accessible permit not issued in the driver's name for the vehicle they are operating is illegal. Violations of these regulations may result in citations and towing of the car at the owner’s expense. Standard parking permit rules and regulations also apply to ADA-accessible parking. Individuals must obtain the appropriate permit and register their vehicle to park on campus, including in ADA-accessible spaces. 

 

Tow Policy

The tow program serves as an enforcement measure for students, faculty, and staff who disregard parking regulations. Vehicles parked in tow-away zones will be towed WITHOUT NOTICE. All towing fees are the responsibility of the vehicle owner.
 
Any ASU parking enforcement officer has the authority to order the towing of a vehicle for parking violations. In addition, parking privileges on campus may be revoked for repeat or serious violations.

  • Parking in tow-away zones
  • Parking in fire lanes
  • Blocking driveways or service entrances
