Parking

This policy establishes traffic and parking procedures for use by all individuals on the Paul Smith's College campus to enhance the safety and security of the people, vehicles, and property of those using the campus parking and roads. It provides for the enforcement of regulations by Campus Safety Officers and for an appeals process.

1. General Policy
   1. The Paul Smith's College parking policy is in effect 24 hrs/day, 7 days/wk. Lot assignments will be enforced during the academic year (late August through early May); all other requirements and provisions are in effect twelve months per year.
   2. All motor vehicles, including motorcycles, ATV, snowmobiles, boats, and canoes must be registered with Campus Safety and display a current parking permit/decal. Parking permits will be assigned to a specific vehicle and are not transferable. If a second permit is needed for an additional vehicle there will be no charge for the second vehicle, but only one of the two vehicles is permitted on campus at a time.
   3. Parking areas are assigned to students, staff, and faculty. Vehicles must be parked only in areas designated by the type of permit and number assigned to that permit. A decal number will designate which lot the vehicle owner may park in.
   4. The campus speed limit is 15 mph. In addition, all drivers must operate their vehicles in a responsibly and obey all NYS traffic laws while on campus. Failure to do so may result in revocation or denial of campus parking privileges.
   5. Students may not leave vehicles on College property during the summer and between semesters without prior permission from the Director of Campus Safety. Faculty and staff working during recess may continue to park in designated lots.
   6. Any vehicle displaying a current permit that has accumulated more than 5 citations may have the permit revoked.
   7. Failure to clear any outstanding parking fines shall be grounds to deny future parking permits, and registration and transcripts may be withheld.
