Parking and Traffic 

The following parking rules and parking permit requirements will be in place as noted:

In effect at all times: Parking Permits Required.

•  All vehicles parked on campus must display a current semester, annual, daily parking permit (one day permits available at permit dispensers at various parking lots) or temporary permit.  Student permits may be purchased online through webreg.mpc.edu. 

• Parking is limited to designated areas and in marked stalls. Parking without a valid permit will result in the issuance of a citation. Parking in unauthorized areas can result in the towing of the vehicle at the owner’s expense. The registered owner of the vehicle is responsible for all parking citations given to a particular vehicle regardless of who is driving or who has parked the vehicle.

• All vehicles must properly display a current semester, annual, or daily permit. Vehicles that do not properly display a current permit will be subject to citation.

• Staff parking:  All vehicles parked in parking spaces designated as Staff Parking or parking spaces marked in yellow must properly display a Staff parking permit, unless posted otherwise.

Parking and Traffic Regulations - Violation of these regulations will be subject to citations issued by the College Security Department or the Monterey Police Department. Parking citations will be filed with the Monterey County Municipal Court. All citations must be cleared within 21 days. No citation will be voided on campus.

Vehicles must be parked in designated spaces within painted lines and must not be parked in a manner that obstructs entrances, exits or through traffic.

Accessible parking

No vehicle without either the distinguishing license plate or placard issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles may be parked in any space designated for use by persons with disabilities.  These spaces are designated by a blue wheelchair on white background in the center of the space or on posted signage.  Enforcement of disabled/handicapped spaces is all hours and all days.

Visitor parking  

Visitors may park free of charge for 30 minutes only in spaces designated for 30 minutes (currently those spaces are in Lot D adjacent to the Student Services Building).

Bicycles and Motor-Driven Bikes

These vehicles must be parked in areas so marked. They may not be ridden on inner campus pathways or landscaped areas and must be walked moving through the campus interior.

Speed

The campus speed limit is 15 miles per hour.
