To enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and accountability of our parking program, BYU-Idaho is transitioning to an electronic parking permit system. This change streamlines parking operations, improves the user experience, and modernizes enforcement through License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology.
Why the Change?
- Modernization of campus parking management
- Greater efficiency and reduced reliance on physical materials
- More accurate and accountable enforcement through LPR
- Enhanced user flexibility to manage multiple vehicles
- Long-term cost savings and environmental benefits
Implementation Timeline
- April 29, 2025: Employees must register their vehicles and request an electronic parking permit
- June 4, 2025: Students may begin requesting fall permits
- September 15, 2025: Full implementation of the system for all parking enforcement
Key Changes
- All permits are electronic and tied to license plates
- Physical hang tags and decals are no longer issued or accepted
- Up to five vehicles may be registered per user account
- Visitor permits must be requested by the visitor, either online or in person at Kimball 150H
- Contractors must register and be approved through Architecture and Construction Management Services
- Students may not request visitor permits
- Signage will be updated across campus prior to Fall 2025
- Temporary handicap permits require state-level documentation and must be submitted in person
Next Steps
