Parking & Maps

Virtual Parking Permits

On the 黑料老司机campus, License Plate Recognition technology (LPR) and Virtual Permits have replaced all paper permits. LPR technology uses optical character recognition to automatically read license plate characters. 黑料老司机operates mobile LPR, which uses vehicle-mounted cameras to verify plates in all campus lots. Virtual permits are free of charge for CAPE instructors and students. If you park on campus without a virtual permit you will receive a parking citation with an associated $50 fine.
