Hangtag Responsibility

Hangtag Display Instructions

Place hangtag on rearview mirror visible from the front of your vehicle; or, if necessary, tape hangtag to dashboard directly below the rearview mirror. One hangtag per vehicle is allowed (except for Handicapped hangtags which must be displayed OVER the regular parking permit.) NY State Law requires that nothing be permitted to hang below the rearview mirror while the vehicle is in motion.

Hangtag Ownership

Hangtag ownership is NOT transferable.  The hangtag owner is responsible for all parking violations issued to any vehicle bearing the hangtag.  It is the hangtag owner’s responsibility to inform family and friends of the parking rules and regulations.

Vehicles Without Hangtags

The operator of a vehicle parked on campus – with or without a vehicle hangtag - is presumed to be affiliated with the University. The person affiliated with the University is responsible for all parking tickets and/or towing issued to the individual’s vehicle or any other family member’s vehicle.

Parking Appeals

You have the right to appeal a parking ticket. All appeals must go through the Appeals Board. Only written appeals will be heard (see Parking Appeals Form). You may support a written appeal by appearing in person at the next appeals meeting following your appeal submission. Appeal meetings are held each Wednesday at 1:30pm in the Angell College Center MEETING ROOM 5 if you would like to appear in person. Please note that the Parking Manager does not have the authority to individually hear a verbal appeal. Inquiries related to parking tickets must be submitted in writing to parking@plattsburgh.edu. This allows for the appropriate handling and response to inquiries in the manner by which they were received.
