Operating a motor vehicle on the grounds of Loma Linda University is a PRIVILEGE given by this institution and is not a guaranteed right of faculty, staff, student or visitor. Loma Linda University recognizes the fact that the use of a vehicle is often necessary for transportation to and from campus and thus provides parking for employees, faculty, staff, students and visitors. All faculty, staff and students will be issued a parking permit that will give them the privilege to park in a primary lot when space is available and to park in overflow parking when the primary lot is full.

Because it is a privilege to operate and park a motor vehicle on the grounds, permission to enter or remain on the grounds may be revoked at any time by Loma Linda University administration or its authorized agent. Loma Linda University Medical Center Department of Security is recognized by the administration of each institution as the authorized agent. Officers of this department are responsible for enforcing all University Traffic and Parking Regulations and all regulations of the California Vehicle Code as they apply on campus. Loma Linda University Medical Center has adopted different parking regulations for it’s parking lots which apply to all faculty, staff and students of Loma Linda University.

In the interest of safe and courteous vehicle operation and in an effort to create and maintain the best possible conditions for those authorized to operate a motor vehicle on the grounds, Loma Linda University has adopted and enforces these regulations.

IT IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DRIVER OF ANY VEHICLE TO BE FAMILIAR WITH THESE REGULATIONS. YOU WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INFRACTION THEREOF.

GENERAL REGULATIONS

The temporary convenience of illegal parking is rarely worth the hassle and expense of a ticket or towing. In parking on campus, Loma Linda University recommends that students, faculty, staff, and visitors observe these guidelines:

Parking regulations at Loma Linda University are in effect throughout the year. These enforcement regulations apply to all persons who operate motor vehicles or bicycles on Loma Linda University property. The intent of these regulations is to make parking facilities available to those persons who must drive to conduct their affairs, to insure access at all times for emergency vehicles, and to promote pedestrian, cyclist, and vehicular safety. All persons are encouraged to car pool, ride the bus system, ride bicycles, or walk whenever possible.
Regulations, postings, lot designations, etc. are administered by the Loma Linda University Parking and Security Committee. Any faculty, staff or student may present in writing recommendations for changes or additions to these regulations, postings, lot designations, etc. Recommendations are to be directed to the Loma Linda University Parking and Security Committee. Requests for exceptions and exemptions to the parking regulations must be submitted to the Loma Linda University Medical Center Department of Security for approval to the Parking and Security Committee.
For the purposes of the Regulations, signs shall include posters, road markings, signs and any other devices, permanently or temporarily erected by the University to regulate or direct the movement of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and the parking of vehicles on campus.
Parking where you desire may be difficult at times. Please plan ahead and allow sufficient time to walk a short distance from where you park. Parking is on a "first come, first served" basis. Possession of a parking permit does not guarantee that a space will be available. Parking illegally because you could not find a legal parking space is not a valid excuse for being illegally parked.
A parking permit must be obtained by all faculty, staff and students. Personal notes left on a vehicle describing reasons for parking on campus without a proper parking permit, or for parking in an unauthorized location will not be accepted. A citation will be issued. In case of emergency, please contact the Loma Linda University Medical Center Department of Security.
Activated flashers on an illegally parked vehicle do not exempt the vehicle from receiving a parking ticket.
The person to whom permits are issued will be held responsible for traffic and parking violations regardless of the actual driver of the vehicle. When vehicles are sold, traded or otherwise disposed of, it is important to remove permits and to notify the Loma Linda University Medical Center Department of Security.
Every person who, when completing a parking registration form, supplies or submits false or misleading information shall be subject to a fine.
Visitor parking permits are for visitor use only. Faculty, staff, and students using a visitor permit are subject to misuse-of-permit fines.
At no time will Loma Linda University and/or the Loma Linda University Medical Center Department of Security assume responsibility for the care and/or protection of any vehicle and/or its contents while it is on the property. No liability shall be created by granting any parking and/or operating privileges on the property whether owned, leased or otherwise controlled by the institution.
Operators of a vehicle on campus, upon request of a Loma Linda University Medical Center Security Officer, must produce proof of ownership of a vehicle and proof that the vehicle is insured as required by law.
Operators of vehicles on campus, upon request of a Loma Linda University Medical Center Security Officer must produce a valid driver's license.
The absence of "No Parking" signs does not mean that parking is allowed. Parking is not allowed along curbs in parking lots unless marked for parking. Parking is permitted only within marked stalls. All areas not specifically designated for parking shall be considered "No Parking" zones.
No vehicle shall be parked within or outside any parking area, in front of or adjacent to any chained service access way or area with mechanicial gates in such a manner as to impede or obstruct the continued use of such access.

Certain parking spaces are designated as Handicapped Parking and are restricted to the use of those who are physically disabled and whose vehicles display the appropriate state issued disabled license plate or placard, or a temporary permit issued by the Loma Linda University Medical Center Department of Security on the clear instruction of a physician. The temporary permits are issued on a short term basis only.
No vehicle shall be parked in a parking lot other than the lot(s) assigned or authorized to the permit-holder.
No vehicle shall be parked in such a manner as to obstruct access to vehicular or pedestrian traffic, such as a fire plug, fire truck, fire lane, emergency lane, ambulance entrance, bike lane, driveway, service drive or walkway.

Motor vehicles including cars, trucks, campers, RV's, motorcycles, and sport utility vehicles may not be abandoned or stored on the premises.
A permit is required for motorcycles occupying a parking space.
Every person who, through operation of a vehicle on campus, causes damage to University property shall be responsible for payment of all costs to repair or replace. The operator of the vehicle must immediately report to a Loma Linda University Medical Center Security Officer any such damage. Ultimate liability for damages rests with the vehicle owner, regardless of who was operating the vehicle at the time of damage.
Every person operating a vehicle on the campus shall do so with due care and attention and with reasonable consideration for other persons using the campus.
No vehicle shall be operated in such a manner as to disrupt the peaceful atmosphere of the institution. A person operating a vehicle on campus must not sound any bell, horn or other signaling device so as to make an unreasonable noise nor shall such person at any time cause the vehicle to make any unnecessary noise.
No vehicle shall be operated or parked on any campus sidewalk, pathway, pedestrian walkway, grassed or landscaped areas, except service vehicles where other means of access are unavailable.
