Parking & Transportation

All individuals with a DMV-issued disability placard (temporary or permanent) must also obtain an applicable University permit. More information about application and qualification for disability placards can be found on the NC DMV website.

• Displaying both the disability placard and a university permit allows parking in any lot on campus, regardless of the university permit's designated location.
• Displaying both the disability placard and having a university permit also allows for extended parking in timed zones.

• When purchasing a university permit, please provide your DMV-issued disability placard information   

Types of Disability Parking Spaces

• ADA Spaces: These spaces are intended for individuals with DMV-issued disability placards who need accessible features. These larger spaces include an accessible aisle that leads to an accessible route in accordance with the ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Due to Boone’s terrain, accessible routes are not always a direct route to the destination. 

• Close Proximity Spaces: These spaces are intended for individuals with DMV-issued disability placards who need closer proximity to their destination. They do not have the accessible features or accessible routes required by the ADA Standards for Accessible Design.
