Updating Vehicle Information

It is crucial to keep your vehicle information up to date. We rely on the vehicle license plate to verify your permit validity using our License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology. Failure to do so could result in a citation. You are allowed to register up to three vehicles on the same virtual parking permit. However, only one vehicle is allowed to be parked on campus at a time. The LPR technology will recognize the first vehicle as valid, but any additional vehicles under the same permit will be subject to citation.
