Student Apartment Parking
Vehicles parked in a student-apartment parking lot must display a valid resident-parking permit along with a sticker from the complex the vehicle registrant resides. The permit, with the sticker facing toward the windshield of the vehicle, must be displayed at all times. Permits from one complex are not valid in another. With the exception of the commuter lots, these permits are also valid in student-designated lots.

First-year students living on campus are required to park their vehicle in their residence hall lot or in a Park & Ride lot from 7:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., Monday - Friday. Residents of the Governors Complex should use the Governors E Lot.

Visitor Parking
Visitors may obtain a guest parking permit from Parking and Transportation Services or from the department they are visiting. These permits are valid in any faculty/staff, student or shared lot. They are not valid in apartment complex lots or in lieu of payment where required.
Visitors may pay to park in a metered or pay-by-cell space, rates vary; or in the Fronczak visitor lot on the North Campus. Entry fee is $5 on weekdays, 7:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., and $3 after 1:00 p.m.
Parking Meters & Pay by Cellphone
Parking meters are enforced 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Rates vary per location. Parking is prohibited at malfunctioning meters. Report broken meters to 716-645-3943.
To pay by cellphone, pre-register at Parkmobile.com. Park in a signed Parkmobile space and call in the 4-digit parking zone indicated on the sign. Parking permits are not valid at parking meters or in Parkmobile spaces.
Clinic Patient Parking
Certain lots and spaces are designated for use by clinic patients displaying special, dated parking permits provided by the clinic. Look for signage indicating who can use these spaces. Clinic parking is not for use by UB faculty/staff and students, including those visiting a clinic.
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Charging stations are available on Mary Talbert Way, Coventry Road, Jacobs B Lot (NC) and in Parker Lot and Diefendorf Loop (SC). Vehicles must be charging while parked at the stations. Maximum parking/charging time is 3 hours.
Parking for Persons with Disabilities Designated areas are reserved for vehicles with disability license plates or hangtags issued by a municipality. These must be accompanied by a university-issued disability parking permit obtained from Parking and Transportation Services.
Special Event Parking
Reserved parking is available for most cultural and athletic events. Parking and Transportation Services will determine which spaces may be used for events. A nominal fee may apply.
Motorcycle Parking
Annual permits (stickers) must be displayed on the right front fork. Motorcycle, moped, motor scooter, and motor bicycle parking is permitted in areas designated for “motorcycles only.” Motorcycles may also park in regular parking spaces in valid lots. Unless otherwise noted, these vehicles are not permitted to park on sidewalks, under building overhangs, inside courtyards, or in buildings.
Overnight Parking
Overnight parking is available on campus year-round, and is restricted to designated areas. Parking on all roadways is prohibited. Signs are posted in lots where overnight parking is allowed or prohibited.
Restricted Parking Areas
Parking is prohibited on all roadways, sidewalks, fire lanes, and grass areas unless otherwise indicated. Additional restricted areas include those spaces designated for motorcycles, persons with disabilities, service or state vehicles, loading docks, and Red permits. These restrictions are enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Vehicles must park in a designated parking space or area, in accordance with restrictions, at all times. No person shall park on the premises of the university in such manner as to interfere with the use of a fire hydrant, fire lane, or other emergency zone; create any other hazard or unreasonably interfere with the free and proper use of a roadway or pedestrian way. Unless otherwise indicated, parking outside of lined spaces, within end of row triangles, or beyond double lines is prohibited and strictly enforced.
Parking Citations Appeals Process
Appeals should be based on the premise that the citation was not consistent with university parking regulations.
The first step entails submitting a written statement describing why the citation is unwarranted, online at buffalo.edu/parking. Parking & Transportation Services must receive an appeal within 15 calendar days from the date the citation was issued. All fines incur a late fee if not paid or appealed within the 15-day period; in addition, failure to comply constitutes a plea of guilt. Appellants are notified by email as to the result of their appeal. By request, an appeal may continue to a second step in front of a hearing officer. If a request is made for a third step, the fine must be paid and evidence and transcripts from the second step will be reviewed by a panel. A refund will be issued if the citation is dismissed. Late fines are not added while an appeal is pending.
Outstanding Parking Fines Overdue parking fines on student accounts may result in the placement of a hold which will prevent class registration and block transcript requests. Faculty and staff members may be subject to payroll deduction as a means of collecting outstanding parking fines. Vehicles with outstanding fines may be referred as scofflaws to the DMV, which will block their registration renewal.
Towing and Booting
Any vehicle parked illegally on campus with six or more unpaid tickets is subject to towing or booting at the registrants’ expense. Vehicles double or triple parked, blocking roadways or parked illegally in handicapped or clinic areas are subject to immediate towing. Abandoned vehicles will be towed and impounded in accordance with New York State Vehicle & Traffic Law(s). Individuals who are towed or booted will be required to pay a release charge as well as all fines, or make a payment agreement, before the vehicle is released.
No persons shall drive a vehicle on university streets, roads or highways at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions and having regard to the actual and potential hazards then existing; but in no event shall a person drive a vehicle in excess of 30 miles per hour unless a different speed is authorized and indicated by the university. The maximum speed limit at which vehicles may proceed on or along roadways is as follows:
The following traffic controls are applicable to the grounds of the State University of New York at Buffalo (South Campus), City of Buffalo, Erie County, unless otherwise indicated.
Restrictions are enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Parking is prohibited on:
No person shall park a vehicle on the premises of the university in such manner as to interfere with the use of a fire hydrant, fire lane, or other emergency zone; create any other hazard or unreasonably interfere with the free and proper use of a roadway or pedestrian way.
