The Basics: Who, What, When, Where and Why of Parking
Who Must Have A Permit....
Every vehicle that parks on any campus must either display a permit or pay the meters. This includes parallel parking on Saunders Street on the Riverside City College campus.
What Does It Cost....
Permits for both students and staff are $40 for the Fall and Spring, $20 for Summer semesters. See costs of Permits and Fines for more details.
Where Can I Park....
Each lot has a specific designation for who can or cannot park there. There are also areas (such as disabled spots, fire zones, loading areas, etc.) that are posted for the exclusive use by certain persons or vehicles. Board Policy spells out in detail such areas and restrictions.
There are also areas that have pay-by-space or pay-by-day meters. RCCD student and staff permits are not valid in metered areas (except Lot Q on the Riverside City College campus). If you park in a metered area, you must pay the meter.
When Can I Park....
Parking regulations are enforced Monday thru Thursday 7 am to 10 pm and Friday from 7 am to 4 pm ( Students attending Saturday classes do not need a permit to park in student lots). Some parking regulations are enforced 24 hours a day, seven days a week including all rules of the California Vehicle Code. These include, but are not limited to, disabled and fire zones, vehicle registration and any other area marked as enforced 24 hours a day.
Why Must I Pay to Park....
The fees collected from the sale of parking permits are used to fund college and student services. Fees also fund police officers, safety escort services, lot maintenance and new lot construction at all three colleges.
