PERMITS

UNO is a pay-to-park campus requiring a valid permit, purchased pay-to-park time, or authorization from UNO Parking and Transit Services to park on campus. By using a UNO parking permit or pay-to-park parking options, the parker acknowledges and accepts the practices and policies of UNO and its parking rules and regulations. Parking on campus is a privilege, not a right. Failure to abide by these parking regulations may cause revocation of parking privileges on campus. Lack of available parking is not a valid reason to park illegally. UNO parking regulations are enforced year-round.

AUTOMATIC LICENSE PLATE READER (LPR) TECHNOLOGY

UNO uses LPR technology to support management of campus parking facilities in compliance with University policies and State statutes. The LPR system allows a vehicle license plate to be used as or linked to the university parking permit or parking citations in accordance with UNO parking rules and regulations.

HOW TO PARK

The preferred method of parking is with the front end of the vehicle pointed into the parking space. Vehicles must be parked such that the license plate is easily scanned by the LPR equipment from the drive aisle. The plate must be unobstructed, legible, mounted, and properly displayed facing the drive aisle. All vehicles parked in a diagonal space on campus must park with the front end of the vehicle pointed into the parking space. Vehicles must be parked such that they do not block adjacent sidewalks or drive aisles.

DESIGNATED PARKING AREAS

Vehicles shall park only in designated parking areas and in the area covered by the permit. If a permit holder is unable to comply, they must notify UNO Parking and Transit Services for authorization at 402.554.7275 immediately. A personal note left in the vehicle explaining the reason for using parking space not covered by the permit is unacceptable and in violation of the parking regulations.

SELLING PARKING SPACES AND PERMITS

Designated parking areas on campus shall be subject to permit fees. Due to limited parking, some lots are oversold by varying degrees to maximize space utilization. Parking space is not guaranteed.

NO PARKING ZONES

The absence of a “No Parking” sign does not mean parking is allowed. Vehicles shall not park at any time in the following areas: campus streets/drives or within an intersection; on a crosswalk, sidewalk, or on the lawn or other landscaping; in any area designated as a fire lane; in any area designated a bus lane; along red or yellow painted curbs; in any area not designated as a parking area; and, hash-marked areas.

CLOSED AREAS

UNO reserves the right to close any campus parking area, temporarily or permanently. UNO lots may be closed at various times because of events or campus activities, repair, construction projects, etc. Information on lot and road closures and expected impacts on parking can be found at the webpage Parking Lot and Road Closures, as well as in MavDaily, Bullseye, UNO Shuttle App, Facebook, and Twitter/X.

RESERVED PARKING

Reserved parking includes any spaces or lots reserved for persons, departments, or vehicles. Unauthorized vehicles found in reserved spaces will be subject to a citation and towing. This includes ADA areas, carpool spaces, compact spaces, EV charging spaces, loading zones, motorcycle areas, pay-to-park spaces, service vehicle spaces, and Visitor spaces. These areas are excluded from open-parking and valid-permit parking relaxations. Reserved spaces are restricted to authorized vehicles at all times, 24/7/365.

Reserved lots not available for Faculty/Staff, Students, or Residents without a valid reserved permit or authorization from UNO Parking and Transit Services are: gated Lots D, E, and 15 when the gate arms are down; or Lots 3, 8, 9 (SCC), B, O, X, J (University Village Clubhouse Visitor lot) and Scott Clubhouse Visitor lot.

ADA & Temporary Medical Accommodation

Designated ADA spaces are available on campus and reserved for those with a valid state-issued ADA permit as well as a valid UNO permit. Individuals with a state-issued ADA permit must register their ADA permit with UNO Parking and Transit Services and must clearly display the permit while parked. If no ADA space is available, vehicles displaying ADA permits with valid UNO permits may park in any general-use space in any surface lot or garage on campus.

Individuals with short-term temporary ADA or medical parking needs (injury, pregnancy, etc.) should follow the DMV procedure for obtaining a temporary ADA permit. A temporary permit issued for the necessary period recommended by a medical professional will need to be registered with UNO Parking and Transit Services. All procedures and conditions for temporary ADA permits match the procedures and conditions for permanent ADA permits.

ADA parking spaces, including hash-marked areas adjacent to the spaces, are reserved for authorized vehicles at all times, 24/7/365. These areas are excluded from open-parking and valid-permit parking relaxations. Unauthorized vehicles will risk a citation and may be towed, without further notice, at the owner/operator’s expense.

Timed Areas

Timed areas/spaces are enforced based on posted time restriction. An over-time parking citation will be issued for parking longer than the posted time. A separate over-time citation may be issued as each posted time restriction is exceeded, e.g. a vehicle in a 30-minute loading zone could get a citation for each 30-minute time segment. This applies to pay-to-park zones, loading zones, and timed Visitor lots, all enforced 24/7/365. Vehicles parked in a timed area overnight will receive an unauthorized reserved space citation instead of an over-time parking citation issued for every exceeded time-limit. These areas are excluded from open-parking and valid-permit parking relaxations.

Loading Zones

Loading zone time-limits are posted on signs at each loading zone. Loading zones are not for parking, but for loading and unloading of items from a vehicle. A permit is not required in loading zone spaces. Loading zone spaces are located throughout Dodge and Scott Campuses and enforced at all times 24/7/365. These areas are excluded from open-parking and valid-permit parking relaxations.

EVENT PARKING

Temporary parking assignments for special events or campus activities are coordinated by UNO Parking and Transit Services. Departments scheduling buses or food trucks on campus must coordinate with UNO Parking and Transit Services. Please contact unoeventparking@unomaha.edu for more information.

COMPANY OWNED VEHICLES

Company-owned service vehicles are subject to the same parking regulations governing privately-owned vehicles, except that company-owned service vehicles may park in the areas designated for company-owned vehicles or in spaces leased by departments.

CONTINUOUS PARKING

Parking over twenty-four (24) hours is not authorized, and a citation may be issued for any vehicle parked continuously in one place for more than twenty-four (24) hours on University property. Resident permits are exempt from this rule, if parked in permit-assigned Resident lots or structures with a valid Resident permit.

Vehicles that appear to be abandoned will be towed.

Faculty/Staff, and Students engaged in University business who find it necessary to park on campus over twenty-four hours must obtain authorization from UNO Parking and Transit Services and will be assigned to a specific area.

UNO parking facilities are not to be used as storage facilities for boats, campers, trailers, motorcycles, or any other vehicle unless authorized by UNO Parking and Transit Services.

MOTORCYCLES/MOTORIZED SCOOTERS

Motorcycles and scooters must register with UNO Parking and Transit Services and purchase a motorcycle permit prior to parking on campus to avoid a citation. A motorcycle permit is free if a vehicle permit is already purchased for the same year, but must be requested. For safety purposes, motorcycle and scooter parking is restricted to designated motorcycle spaces only and may not park in general-use spaces.

Back to Top of Page

PARKING AUTHORIZATION

All information and authorization regarding parking at UNO must be obtained from UNO Parking and Transit Services. Failure to obtain authorization may result in a parking citation. Incorrect information received from any other source is not considered a valid defense for parking citations.

All UNO Parking and Transit Services communications regarding permits, citations, and notices are sent to the primary affiliated email account, which is the UNO email address for Faculty/Staff, and Students.

Abusive behavior towards UNO Parking and Transit Services staff is reported to Student Conduct for Students or Human Resources for Faculty/Staff.

This student reciprocal permit is only valid for a student whose coursework requires them to travel to UNO to attend class or advance their coursework. A reciprocal permit will not be issued if there are any outstanding UNO parking citation fees.

PURCHASING A VIRTUAL PERMIT

Permits are purchased online at the MavPark online portal, or at the UNO Parking and Transit Services building during regular office hours. Accurate license plate information, including state and number, and vehicle information, including vehicle identification number (VIN), make, model, and color, is required to purchase a permit.

For UNO affiliated Faculty/Staff, Students, and Residents, the site requires a NETID/password.

Faculty/Staff employed at .50 FTE or higher can elect to pay for their annual permit with credit or debit card, or the payroll deduction option, when purchasing online. Part-time Faculty/Staff under .49 FTE must pay for their permit with credit or debit card online.

All student annual or semester permit purchases will be posted to MavLink for payment the following business day. Permits not paid within the MavLink billing schedules will risk late fees. A hold will also be placed on the MavPark account to stop future permit purchases until the past permit is paid.

Visitors, Contractors/Vendors and unaffiliated Residents will create a guest account to purchase a permit.

It is the responsibility of the permit holder to contact UNO Parking and Transit Services with any changes to plate or vehicle information. Registering a license plate or vehicle information inaccurately or failing to register a plate or vehicle prior to parking on campus will result in a citation.

A license plate may only be registered on one (1) account, not multiple accounts, at a time.

While multiple vehicles may be registered to the account, only two (2) vehicles can be linked to one active permit, including rental and temporary vehicles when needed. When a vehicle is no longer used, it should be removed from the account. Two (2) vehicles sharing one (1) permit cannot be parked on campus at the same time to avoid a misuse of permit citation.

Faculty/Staff, Students, and Residents may only purchase one (1) active long-term permit (annual for Faculty/Staff or Residents; annual or semester for Students).

Anyone seeking to purchase a permit must clear all outstanding citations prior to purchasing a new permit.

To exchange or upgrade a permit, submit a request at UNO Parking and Transit Services, or email unoparking@unomaha.edu. Requests may take twenty-four (24) hours to process. An email with the new permit details will be sent the next business day after processing.

RETURNED CHECK POLICY

Individuals who stop payment on checks used to pay parking fees or fines, or who write insufficient funds checks for parking fees or fines, will automatically be deemed a nuisance violator.

The permit renewal will be held. The individual will be required to pay with cash or money order to satisfy the amount of the check and any additional violation penalties or fees. The returned check fee is thirty dollars ($30).

REGISTERING A NEWLY PURCHASED VEHICLE OR RENTAL VEHICLE

Newly purchased vehicles and rental vehicles need to be registered to a current permit. Please contact UNO Parking and Transit Services at unoparking@unomaha.edu or 402.554.7275 for assistance with this. Please do not register in-transit or dealer plates. If the vehicle does not have license plates, please register the complete VIN by contacting UNO Parking and Transit Services. A VIN can only be registered until issuance of a state license plate. After receiving plates, contact UNO Parking and Transit Services to update your vehicle on your account and link it to your permit. If a vehicle is displaying plates, UNO Parking and Transit Services will not look for VINs, and a citation will be issued on a plate if not registered.

If a new vehicle is added, please ensure the vehicle is listed on the active permit on the permits page of MavPark.

PARKING PERMIT CANCELLATION POLICY

Employees are responsible for canceling their own parking assignments. It is not the responsibility of the manager or department to cancel an employee’s parking. UNO Parking and Transit Services will not cancel parking without the employee’s consent and request in writing, unless UNO Payroll provides proof of separation.

REFUNDS

Refunds will not be issued if outstanding citations or permit fees remain on MavPark or MavLink.

Faculty/Staff that seek to cancel their permit before expiration must contact unoparking@unomaha.edu. If the permit was on payroll deduction, payroll deduction will be stopped after last outstanding payment is deducted. If the permit was purchased by cash or credit, a prorated refund of each full month the permit
remains valid will be processed.

Student refunds for permits purchased on or before the first day of each semester, will be 100% of the original fee. A prorated refund will occur within the first 5 weeks of the semester it is purchased.

  • The first (1st) and second (2nd) week refund will be 100% of the original fee.
  • The third (3rd) week refund will be 75% of the original fee.
  • The fourth (4th) week refund will be 50% of the original fee.
  • The fifth (5th) week refund will be 25% of the original fee.

No Student refunds will be issued after five weeks from the start of Fall or Spring Semester.

Student refunds for permits purchased mid-semester or summer, must be made within the first two weeks of the date of purchase for 100% of the purchase price. After two weeks, no refund will be issued.

Outside of the time frames listed, full or partial year refunds will only be approved for December graduates,
military assignment, or medical withdrawal. Documentation will be required.

Anyone receiving a UNO parking citation is eligible to have one (1) citation warning and waiver per account per academic year, August 1 to July 31. Visitors are eligible for two (2) citations to be reduced to warning and waiver per academic year, August 1 to July 31.

Citation appeals are registered with UNO Parking and Transit Services and must be submitted online at MavPark within thirty (30) days of the issuance date of the citation. Appeals will not be considered after that time.

Valid Appeal Conditions

Appellants should present substantial evidence that the citation was issued in error.

Appealing a citation forfeits the twenty percent (20%) discount for payment within seven (7) days of issuance. Cleared citations may not be appealed.

Once the appeal is submitted, it is reviewed by UNO Parking and Transit Services to determine if the appeal is valid. The following appeal reasons are not valid for an appeal and will be denied without recourse to committee review:

  • Lack of knowledge of the parking regulations.
  • Other vehicles were parked improperly.
  • Only parked illegally for a short period of time.
  • Parking enforcement officer did not issue a citation previously for similar offenses.
  • Late to class or appointment.
  • Inability to pay the amount of the fine.
  • Lack of available parking.
  • No money to pay for parking or a permit.
  • Did not register a vehicle to an account or permit prior to parking on campus.
  • Obtained parking information outside of UNO Parking and Transit Services.
  • Frivolous or Abusive Appeals.
  • Weather affecting where to park.

Appeal Adjudication

Valid appeal requests from Students will be adjudicated by the Student Traffic Appeals Committee, which is composed of Student Government representatives. Appeal decisions are approved, and the citation is voided and the fee dismissed, or denied. No adjustments or reductions will be made to the citation, unless the appellant is eligible for their annual waiver or the appeal qualifies for Failure to Register Vehicle or Improper Registration. Decisions will be sent by email.

If a valid appeal is denied, the appellant has fourteen (14) calendar days from the initial denial to request in writing the appeal be submitted to committee for review. The Faculty/Staff Appeals Committee will review Faculty/Staff and Visitor requests denied by UNO Parking and Transit Services. The Student Government court will review Student requests that have been denied by the Student Traffic Appeals Committee.

The appellant will be notified by email within fourteen (14) days of the committee’s decision once it is made. This will have exhausted the appeal process.

NUISANCE VIOLATORS

Any individual may be deemed a nuisance violator if the individual abuses parking privileges or fails to satisfy payment for parking permits or fines. Once an individual’s name appears on the nuisance violator list, any vehicle owned and/or operated by that individual may be automatically immobilized or towed if in violation. Names of individuals appearing on the list will be removed after a one (1) year period if no further parking violations occur during that time. Individuals removed from the nuisance violator list are subject to being placed on the list again if they abuse parking privileges.

Individuals who stop payment on checks, write insufficient fund checks, or dispute credit card charges for parking fees, will be deemed a nuisance violator.

Owners/operators of vehicles towed from the campus due to outstanding fees, will be liable for payment of towing/storage fees charged by the towing company. If the individual continues to get citations after paying balance and being removed from the tow list, they will be put back on the tow list and risk being banned from parking on campus for six (6) months.

Any vehicles on the immobilization, tow or nuisance violator list are not able to park on campus during open parking, including Visitor and pay-to-park locations on campus.

IMMOBILIZATION (BOOTING) PROCESS

Any individual accumulating three (3) outstanding citations constitutes non-compliance with parking regulations and will be placed on the immobilization (boot) list. Once an individual’s name appears on the list, any vehicle owned and/or operated by that individual may be automatically immobilized at any time until all outstanding citations and fees are cleared.

If the vehicle belongs to a Visitor, all outstanding citations and the administrative immobilization (boot) fee must be paid for the immobilization device (boot) to be removed. If a Faculty/Staff, Student, or Resident register the vehicle to their MavPark account after it is immobilized (booted), then only the administrative immobilization (boot) fee must be paid for the immobilization device (boot) to be removed, as the balance will be moved to their account to be paid.

TOWING PROCESS

UNO Parking and Transit Services may remove from campus property any vehicle that is improperly parked and/or deemed a nuisance violator. Any cost of towing is the responsibility of the permit holder or owner.

LOSS OF PARKING PRIVILEGES

Loss of parking privileges for a period of six (6) months will result from, but is not limited to, the following infractions:

  • Use of counterfeit, unauthorized, or stolen permit
  • Continuous abuse of parking privileges
  • Any individual deemed a nuisance violator
  • Parking more than one (1) vehicle per permit holder in a designated lot at any given time
  • Obtaining permits under false pretenses

REINSTATEMENT OF PARKING PRIVILEGES

Individuals may reapply after six (6) months for reinstatement of their parking privileges.

TOW OR IMMOBILIZATION LIABILITY POLICY

No liability or responsibility is assumed for any vehicle and/or owner when it becomes necessary to tow or immobilize any vehicle which is in violation of these parking regulations.

Vehicle Towing and Immobilization

Vehicle Towing

Towing may occur for multiple circumstances including, but not limited to:

  • Blocking a loading zone, reserved stall, handicap stall, driveway, sidewalk, vehicles, or impeding traffic flow and the owner cannot be reached
  • Broken down, stalled, or abandoned vehicle sitting for an extended period of time
    • 24 hours in a time-limited stall/lot
    • 48 hours in a general-use stall
    • Flexibility of parking beyond these times will be reviewed if contact is made to UNO Parking and Transit Services

Vehicle owners may be required to pay for all or a portion of the tow bill to the tow company if the owner shows up once the tow truck has arrived.

Vehicles towed for outstanding parking balances are towed by Young's Service at 3207 S.67th St., Omaha, NE 402.393.7900.

Vehicle Immobilization

Any vehicle that is unaffiliated to a UNO account, and has three (3) or more citations issued to it, will be immobilized by an immobilization device (boot) if it is parked on UNO campuses.

If a vehicle is immobilized, the owner will need to contact the UNO Parking and Transit Services office to affiliate themselves to the vehicle and pay off any associated fines and/or fees to release the immobilization device.

If the owner is a visitor, the owner must pay off all outstanding fines, including the $60 administrative immobilization fee, to release their vehicle.

If the owner is Faculty/Staff, Resident, or a Student, only the $60 administrative immobilization fee is required to be paid to release their vehicle. All other outstanding citations can be paid off then or later online.

Immobilization may also occur for multiple circumstances including, but not limited to:

  • When a vehicle has no license plate and has a covered VIN number that prevents identification of the vehicle and/or owner of the vehicle
  • When a vehicle is in a difficult position where towing would be impractical, due to its position to other vehicles and/or physical obstructions
  • Counterfeit or stolen permits
