Section 504-19-560. Other parking permits—Availability and use.

(1) Visitor permits. Visitor permits may be used only by bona fide visitors as defined by this chapter. Use by any other person constitutes illegal use of a parking permit. Visitor permits are valid in any zone and parking spaces signed for visitors only. Visitor permits are not valid at meters or restricted spaces.

(2) Golden cougar permits. Golden cougar permits are special visitor permits that are issued to retired staff in recognition of their service without additional cost. They are issued on an annual basis and are valid in any zone. Staff who are employed by the university or other entities located on campus after formal retirement are not eligible to use a golden cougar permit in lieu of a regular paid zone permit.

(3) President's associates decals. President's associates decals are issued to eligible members of the Washington State University foundation. Use of these decals for parking shall be in accordance with a separate agreement between WSU and the WSU foundation. However, WSU faculty, staff, and students may not use a president's associates decal or any other parking benefit instrument in lieu of a paid zone permit.

(4) Conference permits. Conference permits are available to visitors who participate in conferences held on the WSUV campus. They are available on a daily basis only. Conference permits are valid as marked on the issued permit.

(5) Motorcycle permits. Motorcycle permits are valid within boundaries of areas specifically posted and/or marked for motorcycle permits.

(6) Construction permits. A construction permit is issued to personnel who are working on a construction site on campus. Construction permits are assigned to a specific parking area.

(7) Carpool. Upon application to WSUV parking services, a bona fide carpool as defined by the campus policies and procedures is given preference in the assignment of parking zones, and issued a permit that facilitates the carpool. Obtaining or using a carpool permit under false pretenses constitutes the illegal use of a permit.

(8) Commercial permits. Commercial permits are issued to vendors, suppliers, and service representatives of outside companies performing a service for the university. Commercial permits are valid in zones and areas indicated on the permit.

Departmental permits are available in different forms and are valid at parking meters, service zones, orange, green, red, and gray permit zones, and pay parking facilities. Departmental permits are not valid in reserved spaces. The use of departmental permits for anything other than official departmental business is prohibited by the State Ethics Act.
