Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3339 - Miami University › Chapter 3339-18 - Motor Vehicle Regulations › Section 3339-18-01 - Motor vehicle permits

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
The university and the city of Oxford are compact and
				interdependent, with most locations accessible to pedestrians. Miami university
				discourages students from bringing cars to Oxford. Students who desire
				transportation will find that transit services provided by the Butler county
				regional transit authority provide an efficient alternative to a personal
				vehicle.
Miami university is not responsible for damage to or theft from
				motor vehicles or bicycles parked, stored, or operated on university property.
				Miami university is not responsible for damage to motor vehicles or bicycles
				and locks incurred during impoundment or immobilization. Note: See rule
				3339-16-03
				of the Administrative Code for regulations pertaining to bicycles.
This rule applies to the use of motor vehicles in university
				parking areas, defined in these regulations as streets bordering the Oxford
				campus, streets through the Oxford campus, Oxford campus parking lots,
				university parking garages and drives. Parking and transportation services may
				modify restrictions in any area at any time in the course of managing the
				university's parking resources.
(A)
			 Permit required
A permit is required at all times to park in a university
				parking lot or on a university drive, except as noted in this rule. No permit
				is required for daytime parking in the garages or at parking meters in
				pay-to-park areas; fees for facility use must be paid. A permit is required to
				park on city streets that run through or adjoin campus from seven a.m. to six
				p.m., Monday through Friday. At other times a permit is not required to park on
				city streets that run through or adjoin campus.
Miami university uses license plate recognition (LPR)
				technology to assign parking privileges to motor vehicles. Vehicle license
				plates must be properly registered or a vehicle will not be recognized as
				having permission to park on campus. Physical parking permits are not
				distributed for use on the Oxford campus. Vehicles must be parked so that an
				unobstructed view of the vehicle's license plate is visible to the drive aisle
				so that vehicle-mounted LPR cameras can read license plates.
(B) Permit eligibility
First-year students are not permitted to bring a car to campus
				without express university authorization (exceptions listed in this rule).
				Sophomores, juniors, and seniors are permitted to bring a car, but are required
				to register the vehicle with the university and obtain a parking permit.
Currently enrolled Miami students re not eligible to purchase
				or use red parking permissions intended for faculty, staff and visitors.
				However, Miami reserves the right to issue a permit at
				any level at its discretion.
(C) How to apply for a permit
Students, faculty, and staff may apply for a permit and obtain
				a copy of the parking map through parking and transportation services website
				or in person at parking and transportation services. Each semester, for seven
				calendar days after the start of classes, students may park in the Ditmer,
				Chestnut fields, or west Millett parking areas without a permit. Visitors may
				apply for a permit in person or online; vendors and contractors may apply for a
				permit in person at parking and transportation services. Some offices on campus
				may offer one-day visitor parking permits (see paragraph (I) of this
				rule).
Students may not register vehicles belonging to other students
				unless they are siblings who are also Miami students. Students may register
				only one vehicle; to change vehicles the first vehicle must be removed from the
				parking account before adding another.
Faculty, staff, visitors, vendors, and contractors may not
				register vehicles belonging to students who are not immediate family members.
				Employees and visitors may register up to four vehicles to use the same
				permission; only one vehicle is permitted to park on campus at any time for
				each permission.
Permit colors correspond to specific parking areas indicated on
				the parking map.

			 are not eligible to purchase any other parking permits and must register with
			 parking services to receive discounted parking rates.

			 parking permit is permitted to park on campus at a time unless a temporary
			 daily parking permit has been purchased for the additional vehicle on campus or

			 permit, three hundred dollars) for violations.
