    Parking fees are charged for all vehicles, including those with disability placards.
    In order to develop an equitable parking policy, we have increased the number of parking spaces for disabled persons, and normal fees for each lot are charged for all spaces in that lot. Plesae be advised that the number of spaces for disabled persons is still limited, however, and early arrival is the best method of obtaining a more close-in space.
