Parking and Transportation

Parking and Transportation Services Department Information

The Parking and Transportation Services is responsible for the regulation and enforcement of all University parking lots. Any vehicle parked on university property must be in a marked parking space at all times.

Like most universities, a convenient parking space is a premium commodity for students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Our Security Officers monitor all parking lots throughout the University to ensure that vehicles are in compliance with all rules and regulations. Our goal is to ensure that parking spaces are available for those who have a purpose on campus. We accomplish this through uniform and consistent parking enforcement.

Parking regulations help to ensure that there is an orderly system in place for all who use vehicles when coming to campus. The regulations also ensure that emergency vehicles and equipment have immediate access to all campus locations. Voluntary compliance is encouraged.

Our staff is committed to providing the best service possible to each member of the University community and each person visiting campus. Our staff will be happy to offer any assistance or clarify information during your visit to the NJCU campus.
