Parking & Driving Regulations

It is important that every individual operating an automobile know and obey the parking and driving regulations of the college.The rules and regulations below are enforced by Wagner College Public Safety Officers.

Available Lots

If parking lots are full, there is also parking on the streets around the campus.

Parking Permits

All faculty, administration, staff and students operating motor vehicles (including motorcycles) on campus must have their vehicle(s) registered with the Public Safety Office.  A parking permit can be obtained from the Public Safety Office Monday-Friday between 9:00AM-4:00PM located in House #4.  Permits are free of charge.  A valid Wagner ID card is required, as well as pertinent vehicle information, for a campus parking permit.  Vehicle permits must be affixed to the passenger window on the driver’s side of the vehicle.

Speed Limits

Drivers must operate vehicles in a safe manner with regard to traffic and road surface conditions.  Vehicles must be operated in control and at a safe speed not to exceed a maximum limit of 15 miles per hour.

Handicapped Parking

Those parking in a handicapped parking space must display either handicapped license plates or tag.  Those who do not will be ticketed, fined $50.00 and/or towed at the driver’s expense.

Parking Surfaces

Driving and parking is permitted on asphalt paved parking lots and roadways only.  Driving on pave block walkways is prohibited except for service, maintenance and emergency vehicles.  Parking or driving on grassed areas is also prohibited.  Parking is permitted only in a delineated spot (between two white lines).

Reckless Driving

Reckless driving is defined as driving with “will or wanton disregard for the safety of life or property.”  Reckless driving will not be tolerated.  Persons guilty of reckless driving on campus may have their campus driving/parking privileges withdrawn.

Violations and Penalties

Payment for violations can be made in the Public Safety Office.  Until all outstanding summonses are paid in full, grades and transcripts will be withheld and the transgressor will be unable to register for additional classes.  Anyone wishing to protest his/her violation must do so within five (5) school days of receipt (date) of the summons by submitting a summons appeal form available in the Public Safety Office or on the Public Safety web page.

Enforcement

Violators of Wagner College parking regulations will be issued summonses.  Vehicles can be towed (at the driver’s expense) or have an orange sticker affixed to their window (stating they are illegally parked) if they:

1.      Obstruct college operations

2.      Damage lawns or shrubs

3.      Consistently disregard College parking regulations

4.      Create a safety hazard

Snow Removal

Vehicles may need to be moved during snow removal operations.  Should an accumulation of snow require the moving of vehicles, notices will be posted in each residence hall and academic building.  Other means, such as electronic mail, will also be used.  If vehicles have not been moved in a reasonable amount of time, they may be towed at the driver’s expense.  Under these circumstances, an attempt will be made to contact the owner before towing the vehicle.  However, it is the vehicle owner’s responsibility to move his/her vehicle by the deadline posted on the notice.

Emergency Vehicles

Emergency vehicles (fire trucks, ambulances, police cars, etc.) always have the right-of-way.  If emergency vehicles come on campus, pull over out of their way and allow them to pass.  Keep fire lanes, stairs along Cunard Loop and roadways clear for emergency vehicles or evacuation.

 
Parking and driving on campus is at the driver's own risk.
