Disabled & Temporary Mobility Parking

Disabled Parking

There are Seventy (70) RTA Disable Bays on Campus. Seventeen (17) of these bays are located in the Residential precinct of the campus & Fifty Three (53) bays in the Academic precinct.

To be eligible to park in a Disable Bay the vehicle must display a valid RTA Mobility permit.

The RTA Mobility Parking Scheme permit entitles you to park in spaces marked with a symbol for people with disabilities. The permit also provides parking concessions in other spaces.

• When parking in a Lime coupon or Blue permit parking area there is no charge.
• Where parking is limited to more than 30 minutes, the vehicle can park for an unlimited time.
• Where parking is limited to a sign of 30 minutes, the vehicle can park for 2 hours.
• Where parking is limited by a sign of less than 30 minutes, the vehicle can park for a maximum of 30 Minutes.

Legislation specifies the eligibility criteria for a person to obtain a Mobility Parking Scheme permit. To be eligible, a person must be some one:

• Who is unable to walk due to the permanent or temporary loss of use of one or both legs or other permanent medical or physical condition; or
• Whose physical condition is detrimentally affected as a result of walking 100 metres; or
• Who requires the use of crutches, a walking frame, callipers, scooter, wheelchair or other similar mobility aid.

Please note that a Mobility Parking Scheme permit does not allow vehicles to stand or be parked between “No Stopping” signs or on Taxi stands, bus or in loading zones. Vehicles that display the Mobility Parking Scheme permit must park in a designated parking bay in accordance with the UNE Traffic & Parking Rules.
