3) Handicap Parking: Persons with a valid handicap placard as well as a UT permit may park in any area designated as handicap parking. If the handicap parking is filled in the lot closest to their destination then they may park in the closest unreserved parking space. (Example – A student with a "D" Permit and a valid handicap placard/plate may park in Area 1 South which is a Faculty/Staff – "A" Permit – Area).
