New Accessible Parking Requirements at the Law School

Parking Services is updating the process for using the accessible parking spaces in the law school driveway.

• Starting in September, students, faculty, and staff will need to register and later purchase a University of Memphis Accessible Parking Placard to continue parking in these spaces.
• Parking & Transportation Services will verify your eligibility by confirming that you have a valid state-issued accessible placard or license plate registered in your name.

Phase 1: Eligibility & Registration (by September 10)

Eligibility

• Anyone with a valid, state-issued accessible placard or license plate registered in their name.

Registration

To register, email parking@memphis.edu with:

• A photo of your state-issued accessible placard (front and back) OR your accessible license plate number (no photo needed).
• Proof of ownership (a document linking your name to the placard or plate; requirements vary by state).
  • Each state issues this differently—see Tennessee’s example Proof Of Ownership TN.

In-Person Option:  You may also register in person at Parking & Transportation Services in the lower level of the Zach Curlin parking garage, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4 p.m.

Phase 2: Payment & Enforcement (TBA)

Payment

• After registration, you will have the option to purchase the accessible placard.
• The final cost is still being set but is expected to be comparable to or less than nearby garages like Shoppers.
• There is no obligation to purchase after registering if you change your mind.

Enforcement

• Once payments are collected and placards are issued, enforcement will begin.
• Vehicles parked in accessible spaces without a university-issued accessible placard will be ticketed.
• Repeat violators will be towed.
