My main question is.. with the reduced parking.. has the amount of handicapped parking been adjusted? If I recall correctly from all the planning committee meetings I have read, there must be a certain amount of handicapped parking spaces to non-handicapped spaces available.

Quoth snugglegirl05 View Postsells handicap parking permits & access cards for the faculty/staff garage
If memory serves, the parking office wants all permit holders (not just those with handicap permits) to be charged if they park in visitor parking. Enforcing the rules and making people pay is a whole other issue, however.

^This. It is not illegal in any way to charge handicapped people for parking in a parking garage. If I'm going somewhere with my mom, we fully expect to pay to park except in places where we don't have to.

Quoth Sandman View Posti can definately see how this is going to fly..... what does vegas have for the time until an ada violation is filed?
But if they've been getting free parking up to this point, I imagine the complaining will be loud. Nobody likes losing a freebie, and even the handicapped can be SCs.

Handicap staff & students have to pay the parking fee in visitor parking
Background information:
The parking office at the university I work at as a contract visitor parking attendant sells handicap parking permits & access cards for the faculty/staff garage. Students, faculty, and staff can buy the permit. Handicap parking is on the 2nd level. The existing visitor parking garage is under rennovation. The first level of the faculty/staff garage is currently being used for visitor parking.
Nancy from the parking office *not her real name*, a clerk at the parking office, came down to the visitor parking booth earlier this week to tell me & the first shift attendant that if anyone having a university issued handicapped parking permit and access card parks in visitor parking, the have to pay the $5.00 parking fee to exit. They can no longer use their access card. When they drive up to the visitor parking booth window, we are supposed to inform them that 1) they have to pay the $5.00 parking fee, & 2) we have to get the number off their handicap parking permit.
I wonder how this one will be enforced.Tags: None
