How to Avoid a Citation
Park in your assigned zone.
Always have your permit displayed.
If your windshield is tinted at the top and prevents your permit from being visible, tape the permit to the lower driver’s side of the windshield.
Always park within the white lines and don’t block center aisles, yellow curbs, or driveways.
Obey time limits in visitor parking spots and loading zones.
If in doubt, refer to online parking maps for policy and location regulations, or call Parking and Transportation Services at 865-974-6031.
Metered Parking
All meters around campus are provided and enforced by the City of Knoxville. Regardless of whether or not you have a valid UT parking permit, you are still required to pay parking meters. Meters are enforced 24/7. If you receive a citation at a meter, follow the directions given on the ticket.
