I have a Disability Placard:

Drivers with a valid disability placard may park in any Student, Employee or Visitor lot, in any available parking space*, including, but not limited to, ADA stalls. (*This does not include those zones or areas in
which the stopping, parking, or standing of all vehicles is prohibited or that are reserved for special types of vehicles.)

Placards must be visibly displayed to avoid a citation.

What should I do if I have a placard, but I receive a citation?

Your citation may be waived as long as you bring your placard, state issued identification, and Blue or Red Card to Public Safety Parking office as soon as possible. The placard must belong to the driver of the vehicle.

Citations may not be waived if the citation is not a parking permit violation.

I would like to be considered for a need-based parking waiver.

Waivers are not offered directly through the Public Safety Department. However, there are programs on campus which do offer various programs and assistance to those who qualify. Participating Bellevue College programs include:

My Parking Pass was lost or stolen.

In the event that your parking permit is lost or stolen, contact the parking office as soon as possible. The permanent sticker will be deactivated. Unauthorized use will result in a $60 fine and a referral to Student Conduct.

A carpool pass may be obtained at the Parking Office in B132 and must be displayed along with your regular pass in order to park in the specially reserved Carpool parking spaces in the 1st Floor Parking Garage Ramp. Here is a comprehensive Guide to Car Pool Parking on Campus.

I have additional questions about parking, permits or the citation process.

Carpool Parking FAQ

 

What is a Carpool Pass?

A Carpool Pass allows commuters who regularly rideshare to access reserved Carpool Parking spaces available on the 1st floor ramp of the Parking Garage.

What do I need to get a Carpool Pass?

  • 2 or more people, including faculty, staff, or students, who commute to the college in the same vehicle.
  • A valid Every day; Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday parking pass.
  • A valid driver license for all driving members of the carpool and ID’s for non-driving members.
  • Names of each commuter
  • CTCLink ID number of each commuter
  • License Plate Number of all cars used for the carpool
  • Signature of all commuters

Where can I get a carpool pass?

Public Safety Parking Office in B132. All commuters need to be present.

Do I still need a BC Parking Pass if I have a Carpool Pass?

Yes. A Carpool Pass can only be obtained after you purchase a regular BC Parking Pass.

Can we park a different car than what we registered at the time of application?

No. Up to 4 cars may be added to any BC Parking Permit. The parking permit number of the vehicle must match the cars registered on the Carpool Permit. Cars which display a Carpool Pass under which they are not an authorized vehicle, may be cited.

Where do I display the carpool permit?

Carpool Passes must be clearly displayed, unobstructed, along with the correct BC Parking Permit in the front driver’s side window. You may be cited if the permit is not clearly displayed in the driver’s side area.

We take different cars, but with the same set of commuters. Can we share the carpool pass?

Yes, as long as all vehicles are registered in carpool permit application. Simply bring the carpool pass with you that day, and properly display the permit on the driver’s side dashboard or windshield.

We changed a member of our commuter pool, but there are only a few weeks left in the quarter. Do I still need to inform Bellevue College Parking of the change?

Yes. If there are any changes to the drivers or vehicles being used, contact the Parking Office to update the information as soon as possible.

If I carpool and we get a ticket, who’s responsible?

The registered owner of the vehicle is responsible for all citations issued for that vehicle. However, the driver can still be held liable for violating any rules while they are in control of the vehicle, even if they are not the registered owner.

We lost the carpool pass. Can we use carpool parking anyway?

No. Additional carpool permits will not be issued.

**Do not lose the carpool permit.**

I have a carpool question that I still need answered. Who do I contact?
