Parking & Transportation

Disabled Parking

To access disabled permit parking on-campus, individuals need a county-issued disabled parking hanging placard or a disabled license plate and a Texas A&M University parking permit from Transportation Services.  With a county-issued disabled hanging placard or disabled license plate PLUS a valid  TAMU parking permit or paid visitor parking fee, a person may park in any available unrestricted space in addition to designated disabled parking spaces.

How to obtain a disabled parking placard

• Completing a permit application
• Having a doctor complete the Disability Statement on the Permit Application
• Submitting the application and payment to your local County Tax Assessor’s Office

The County Tax Assessor’s Office charges $5 for a temporary disabled parking permit, but note that this fee is subject to change as the Assessor’s Office deems necessary. There is no fee for a person with a permanent disability.
