Faculty/Staff: Transitioning to the LPR Permit

This article goes over how employees with a payroll deduction permit can transition their parking permit to the license plate recognition (LPR) system by adding vehicles to their account and adding vehicles to their permit.

Under the License Plate Recognition (LPR) system, no placards or stickers will be needed. The system will scan license plate information to verify if the vehicle is associated with a valid permit.

Parking will enter your permit into the system, but you need to add your vehicle information to your account. If a vehicle is not attached to a permit, it may result in a citation.
