Users Guide
Introduction:
The function of the Parking Office is to make parking as convenient as possible within constraints imposed by demand, available space, and cost. The entire operation is self-sustaining through fees collected from users. Income derived from fees is used to defray operation expenses (e.g., pay debt on garages, and road and lot repairs).

All students are eligible to purchase a parking decal. To park on campus, one must display a Parking Services' issued decal or use a cash parking facility. Decals are issued on a quarterly or academic year basis and are most easily purchased through Parking Services' priority registration. This takes place PRIOR to the start of each quarter and its dates are published on the website as stated above.
• When a violation tag is written for 'no decal displayed,' a courtesy void is available on an annual basis to all University faculty, staff, students, visitors, and patients. Contact the Parking Office issuing the violation tag for further information.

• Snow removal from lots, garages, and drives (101 acres) is the responsibility of Parking Services. Every effort is made to clear and de-ice all surfaces. Sidewalks, plazas, and other pedestrian-only areas are cleared by Facilities Management.
Meters:
Some short-term metered parking is available at parking meters on both East and West Campus. These parking meters are enforced 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week. Please be advised that a broken parking meter is not a valid parking space.
Parking Services:
No individual or department, other than Parking Services, may grant parking privileges, except as may may grant parking privileges for their respective areas, except as may be specifically delegated in writing by Parking Services. All parking permits, decals and key cards issued to users of the parking system remain the property of the university and the university reserves the right:
• To refuse issuance of a parking permit.
• To change parking assignments as deemed necessary.
• To restrict the use of any parking space, structure, or surface lot at any time.
• To determine hours of control or determine mode of operation of any area at any time.
• To revoke or recall a parking permit or decal.
University Liability:
No liability is created by granting parking or vehicle operating privileges on property owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by the University of Cincinnati. The University assumes no responsibility for the care and/or protection of vehicles or their contents while operated or parked on University property. The University Police, however, do make regular tours of parking facilities.
Driver Responsibility:
Rules and regulations are enforced 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week. Cars must be operated and parked in a manner that assures the safety of other vehicles and pedestrians in the lot. Parking is permitted in marked stalls only. The entire vehicle must be within the boundary lines of the parking stall. Responsibility for finding a legal parking stall rests with the vehicle operator. Snow or other severe weather conditions are not valid reasons for violation of regulations. Revocation of parking privileges may be made by the Parking Office for failure to observe parking regulations. In the event of mechanical failure of a vehicle, the owner/driver is responsible for its removal as soon as available services permit. Lots and/or garages may not be used to store a vehicle. If a vehicle will be left unattended for more than 72 hours, the owner/driver should contact the Parking Office.
