N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. tit. 8 § 584.2

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 50, December 11, 2024

Section 584.2 - Procedures

(a)Registration.

(1) Who must register. All persons associated with the university who park on university property must register their vehicles with the university. Registration entitles registrants to park in designated parking lots if a space is available.

(2) When to register. Individuals must register their vehicles prior to any vehicle use on campus, after acquisition of a vehicle, on returning to campus or starting employment at the university, and must re-register when there is any change, such as moving in or out of a residence hall, change in employment status, etc.

(i) Faculty/staff. Incoming faculty or staff members should register their vehicles on line or at the student accounts/parking services office. The times and places of registration are announced by bursar/student accounts/parking services.

(ii) Students. All resident student permits may be issued for a one year period. Commuter student permits are issued for a multi-year period. All resident student vehicles must be registered annually. The times and places of registration for continuing students and initial registration for qualified students will be announced by the bursar/office of student accounts/parking services.

(3) Permits. One permit will be issued by parking services when vehicles are registered. The permit must be removed if association with the university is terminated or the vehicle sold. Vehicles are considered registered only when the issued permit is displayed as required. Any permit obtained through misrepresentation or in violation of these motor vehicle regulations is void. A registered vehicle must be parked in the designated lot on campus to which it is assigned. The permit must be displayed in such manner to assure that pertinent data is visible, i.e., facing the front of the vehicle.

(4) Registration revocation.

If a registrant is disciplined by revocation of central campus parking privileges or cancellation of campus registration, the revocation applies to any motor vehicle registered in the registrant's name for on-campus use. The revocation of a campus motor vehicle registration and a loss of parking privileges for the balance of the academic year may occur upon a finding that 5 or more campus parking violations have been incurred, irrespective of the payment of fines. See section 584.4(b)(5)(ii) of this Part concerning TAB actions.

(5) Change of ownership. A campus parking permit is not transferable. A permit registrant may be held liable for any summonses issued involving that permit.

(6) Lost/stolen permits. The permit registrant shall immediately report a lost/stolen permit to the parking services office. Recovered lost/stolen permits are null and void and should be destroyed. A replacement fee shall be assessed irrespective of the permit being reported "lost" or "stolen."

(7) Alteration, misuse, or misrepresentation in use of any parking related permit, including handicap permit, is prohibited. Discovery of such violation may subject the individual to ticketing and other sanctions.

(b)Parking.

(1) Where to park.

(i) Campus parking zones are limited for use by motor vehicles assigned to these areas during restricted hours. Each operator must use the assigned area when parking on campus. The permit received when a motor vehicle is registered indicates the zone available for parking. Each parking zone is identified by signs at the entrance. Parking is not permitted in locations not explicitly identified for this purpose, such as roads, parking lot aisles, walkways and grass areas. In paved lots, parking is permitted only within spaces marked for parking by parallel lines on pavement.

(ii) Parking may be restricted, in designated areas of any parking lot, to limited categories of visitors or persons having business with the university and/or conditioned upon payment of a parking fee.

(iii) Parking is prohibited between the hours of 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. in the LIRR commuter lot parking lot.

(iv) Access to parking and enforcement of parking regulations in the Hilton Garden lots shall be in accordance with written agreement between the parties.

(2) Permitted hours.

(i) Any special regulations applicable to the summer and winter sessions will be announced by the office of the Senior Vice President for Administration. Variations in these regulations designed to meet unusual circumstances may be announced from time to time by the DOPTS or university police department.

(ii) Parking in faculty/staff lots is restricted to holders of faculty/staff permits from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. After 4 p.m. and until 7 a.m. any registered car may be parked in these lots, except for faculty/staff lots which are designated as 24-hour restricted by signs posted at each lot. Resident parking lots are restricted to holders of resident permits from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday-Friday, except for those resident lots designated as 24-hour restricted by posted sign. There are no restrictions on weekends until 7 a.m. on Mondays. Specially designated reserved spaces are restricted at all times: i.e., spaces for the disabled, service vehicles, State vehicles, police vehicles, etc.

(iii) Any special regulations applicable to the hours of operation of a parking lot are posted at the entrance(s) to that lot and may not necessarily conform to general campus practices.

(3) Improper parking.

(i) The assignment of a parking permit does not guarantee space in the designated zone. The driver is responsible for finding an approved space for the vehicle. If the owner/operator is unable to find a space in a parking lot, he or she may park in a commuter lot (bus service is provided from these lots).

(ii) All drivers are cautioned that the university, having marked approved spaces, does not mark all areas where parking is prohibited. Each lot is marked by a sign at the entrance. Any area not so designated is not considered a legitimate parking area. An approved space is designated by parallel lines painted on the pavement. In certain unimproved, i.e., unpaved lots are not lined out for parking purposes, so that the definition of approved spaces does not apply.

Note:

Certain unimproved lots are not lined out for parking purposes, so that the definition of approved spaces does not apply.

(c)Exceptions.

(1) The regulations as written specify who may park in particular parking areas.

(2) Motorists may request an exception from these regulations in particular cases. Requests from motorists must be presented to the Senior Vice President for Administration or designee. Documentation must be submitted that is sufficient to help the Senior Vice President for Administration or designee make a clear finding that the application of these regulations will create:

(i) a financial hardship due to inability to meet inflexible job schedules; or

(ii) a personal hardship related to health or safety, and that the hardship can be reasonably resolved only by an exception.
