Who Must Register In the interest of the security of Vanderbilt students, faculty, and staff, and to manage limited parking resources effectively, the University requires that all vehicles operated on campus by members of the University community be registered with the Office of Traffic and Parking. Registration is required for automobiles, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), trucks, vans, golf carts, mopeds, and motorcycles, etc. Bicycles should be registered with the VPD. The registration policy applies to all students, whether they reside off campus, in a University residence hall, or in a fraternity or sorority house; to all faculty members; to all staff members; to vendors doing business on University premises; and to construction workers. In short, the policy applies to anyone who is here for anything other than a single, short-term visit, or for special events for which parking has been prearranged through the Office of Traffic and Parking.  Freshmen may not purchase parking permits or park on campus.
Extended VisitsWhen visiting Vanderbilt, please do not park in non-University parking areas on the perimeter of campus. Please park in the Visitor spaces as designated in the Visitor Parking Map
Persons visiting campus residents for extended periods may register for parking in resident-student lots with the Office of Traffic and Parking, where campus information and temporary parking permits are available during office hours. Temporary employees New September 1, 2008
Temporary VU employees (VTS) are issued special one-month - $21, two-month - $42, & three-month permits - $63 for a designated Zone. Permits must be renewed when expired. The appropriate fee is charged for each issuance/renewal. Refunds are not issued for temporary employees who complete their assignment before the expiration of their parking permit. Service Permits Service and sales persons operating vehicles on the Vanderbilt University campus must obtain appropriate parking permits from the Office of Traffic and Parking. Departments may purchase service permits for use on vehicles owned by department personnel. For such permits to be valid on vehicles operated by students, faculty members, or staff members, the vehicles must be registered with the Office of Traffic and Parking, and must display the decal issued to the registrant. V permits may not be purchased in lieu of regular parking permits and are issued only for University owned/leased vehicles.

OWNERSHIP OF A PERMIT IS NOT TRANSFERABLE Because parking spaces on campus are limited, registration of a vehicle does not ensure that a parking space for a registered vehicle will always be available in the most convenient location. A lack of convenient parking spaces, however, is never justification for violation of any parking regulation. |
