Handicap Parking

Queens, Staten Island and Oakdale campuses have a number of handicap parking spaces throughout the campuses, which are designated with blue lines and appropriate signage. Pursuant to New York State Law, only individuals who have been issued and display in their vehicles, a permanent or temporary handicap parking tag issued from the State, Town or Municipality are authorized to park in a designated handicap parking space.

Any member of the University community who has a temporary disability requesting permission to park in a designated handicap parking space must apply to the appropriate municipal authority to secure a temporary New York State handicap parking decal.

Handicap parking spaces are limited and, pursuant to law, only individuals with appropriately-issued handicap permits can park in these locations. For more information contact Public Safety at (718) 390-4487
